Newbie stuck on EOS flashing

[Astrix]

What do they do? How do I use them?

How to install the essential files needed to flash back to an original stock ROM SBF.
This is necessary when you get stuck in the proverbial "bootloop".

Step is similar to this tutorial :

Hope this time it will success

Flashing the SBF:


How to flash the SBF: here

That link will link it back to Xoomforum: "Thanks to Steady Hawkin over at the Xoom forums for this on"

Flashing the SBF:

• Run RSD Lite as Admin
• Power off your Xoom, press volume up and power at the same time until the device starts. It should boot with "Starting RSD protocol support 3"
• Connect your supplied USB cable (I say supplied because 3rd party cables can cause issues)
• Browse to the SBF file you extracted in the filename box (use the ... button to select)
• Click on Port 1 and select Show Device. If it looks similar to the below image (Device and File Properties are both populated) you are all set
• Click Run

Lord how painful has this been?

I have now tried 4 (four!) ROMS and each endlessly play the reboot animation. My only choices were reboot into CWM, or nothing..........

BUT, then I figured out if you hold down the '-' vol key while rebooting you go into fastboot mode - result!

So...... I pushed the original recovery/system/boot files from Motodev via adb, and got back to HC3.0 stock! I've since applied 3 OTA updates and I'm now back to 3.2, albeit with a different ROM to when I got the Xoom from Hong Kong.

So....... I will try again tonight to flash the recovery and get EOS ICS onto it. Now I know I can get it into fastboot protocol and use adb to push stock files back onto it, I'm less worried about things going wrong the second time.

I can only hope that as I'm now using a slightly different stock ROM/build it may go different.

Will let you know how I get on.

Thanks

Glad you're up running now.

Well wish and good luck to you

Well, I am up and running in a 'better' HC3.2 than before - but still not in ICS land!

Will give it one last try tonight :-)

Thanks again

The best after you success flash cwm recovery.

Do Nandroid back up before flash any rom.

Too late - I don't know what nandroid is.....

Anyway I spent all day doing OTA updates as far as I could get onto the HC3.0 stock - about 120mb worth

Flashed the CWM recovery first time - great.

Wiped everything from within recovery - easy.

Installed EOS everest 1 - great.
(no reboot)
Installed the EOS Gapps - cool.

Rebooted and now I have the same problem....... a spinning camera shutter logo bottom right corner. Been doing that for about 30 minutes now.

Back to HC3.2 I guess - I'll have to go the long way round via the motodev stock then lots of OTA's overnight, but hey - I've got Episode IV A New Hope to keep me company.

I thought this would've fixed it - I was flashing from a newer/different stock HC rom...... CWM flashed first time.......

Why can't I get any custom ROMS to boot?

:-(
