[daddymaths]

hi guys ...i hav some big problem n i really need ur help pls.
i hav tried to root my xoom but it failed n now im afraid i hav bricked my xoom
- unlock ok
- fastboot flash boot boot.img ok
- fastboot reboot fail ( dual core technology frozen)

the only thing that it shows is the dual core technology screen nothing more and when i reset it it starts alone by itself again and stock
i hav a motorola xoom 3g titan i guess before i try to root it was 3.0.1 or may be 3.1
but i never try to use a sd card so i dont know if it works
while trying to fix it i wipe the factory, cache but still bricked

The sd card should not be an issue since you use your computer connected to the Xoom with adb/fastboot when rooting.

Which rooting guide are you using? It does matter, especially for 3G non-US models.
I'm sure you are not bricked. You will need to start again but make sure you have all of the correct files in you platform tools folder (or whatever folder you are using for adb).

If you have successfully unlocked you can skip that step.

You are frozen at the dual core screen because you have flashed an incorrect boot.img for your specific model of xoom, and the android version you have on your xoom a.k.a 3.0-3.2. Since you are on the 3g version make sure you get a 3g boot.img and might as well get both the 3.1 and 3.0.1 boot.Hold the power button and the volume up button at the same time to reboot, wait 3 seconds,and then press only the the volume up button. you should now have a message at the top that says starting fastboot protocol support. begin flashing the images.

Ditto, you will know for sure whenu brick when your screen is black only. You have a little work to do as notedbut stay calm.. You will get things fixed.

+1 dont jump the gun and read everything over 5x before moving forward... Its a lil work like said but you will probably be more knowledgeable after its all said and done and be able to help others that may be stuck like you one day..

Good luck

Hey guys... I have bricked my xoom too. It's a wifi only xoom. I missed the last step in the guide I was using "fastboot oen lock" and rebooted... so now it stays on the dual core screen. I tried vol up and power buttons to get fastboot and it stays on the starting fastboot protocol... the computer doesn't recognize it. Just don't know what to do next...

Please help...!

Read the sticky on page one... That says a guide to all your rooting needs... Proceed

This is what scares people

Don't freak out if your xoom won't boot. Your xooms are certainly not nowhere near bricked. >.>

The word "bricked" gets way too much use... 95% of folks saying they bricked are no where near it...

I have only seen one bricked xoom so far.

Is your Xoom still "bricked?" If so, shoot me a PM and I'll help you out. I HIGHLY doubt it is truly bricked.

rooting guide?

I have a completely and 100% bricked Xoom. Was in the rooting process, and did something wrong, but the device is totally dead.

No response when plugging in via USB, although white LED illuminates when the power is plugged in.

Hit power and volume up to reboot...there is nothing the root process can do to brick it. Stop by the irc channel.

Have tried that.... Is still dead, and get no response from the device. Apparently I may have totally wiped the NAND storage....?

What exactly did you do (or try to do)?

I tried to root the device and install the Tiamat kernel. I was enabling the micro SD slot (or so I thought) and when I dropped in my SD card, there was a warning that the device needed to be re-partitioned. So I did. Didnt format the microSD, seems to have formatted the entire device.

That's one of the only two ways to brick it. I would stop by the irc channel, but I think you may have actually bricked it.
