I'm using the original Xoom and trying to get it unlocked. When I run the "fastboot oem unlock." The screen changes on the tablet and I get the agreement. I can make my cancel or I accept selection but when I press Vol Up to confirm, it does nothing on either option. Now I have a tablet that's stuck. I've tried every key combination to shut it off, but to no effect.

Any suggestions?

Broken button?

It sounds to me like your Volume Up button is broken. If I remember correctly, you scroll through the options with the down button,and agree with the up? Also, rebooting with the buttons combination is Vol Up +Power.

Was the volume up button working before you tried to unlock?

If this is the case, then the only solution I can think of is to let the battery drain. Not pretty I know, but at least (assuming the agreement wasn't accepted) you will be able to boot back into android as was...and if you are still in waranty (unlikely I know, Moto should fix your hardware)

I sincerely hope I am wrong, and you find a better solution.
