Soft brick: Please help!

Here is what happened:

I first flashed the Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 1.1 yesterday, and it worked. But for some reasons it didn't work the way I liked. So I decided to try the the new Tiamat Xoom 2.0.0 "Katana". I did a wipe/factory reset, and then flshed the boot image, and then the kernel. But now the xoom stucks on the dual core screen.

This is a 3G US model (MZ600?). I tried the power + vol up, it stucks on the "Starting RSD protocol support". Moreover, adb on my windows 7 (64bit) cannot find the xoom (I followed the instructions here Setting up ADB on Windows 7 64 bit (and other Windows platforms).)


Please help. I have flashed the xoom many times, and this is the first time I run into trouble/

Thanks

Katana is for Honeycomb 3.2 only. If you tried to apply it to a 3.0.1 or 3.1 Xoom then things could get extremely unpredictable.

If you are able to get the RSD protocol support using Power + Volume Up then you will want to consider returning to stock. You would have to reconfigure updates\kernels after that.

Yeah, I am downloading the stock files, I guess I have to start from scratch

By the way, are these the steps to follow?
===

go back to fastboot

1. Goto: MOTODEV > Products > Device Software for stock USA 3G and Wifi Images
2. signup and download the files you need
3. extract all the img's into the tools folder

4. with the command prompt open type: cd "replace with tools directory location"

5. disconnect your xoom from your computer and shut off the xoom

6. at the prompt type: fastboot oem unlock
7. it will say waiting for device
8. now plug it into your computer and reboot into fastboot by holding the down volume button and power on
9. follow the on screen instructions and agree to everything
10. your device will reboot you will get the motorola dual core window
11. force restart device by holding volume up and pressing the power button right after the device shuts off hold the down volume button and press power button
12 you should now be in fastboot mode
13. then copy each line one by one into the command window. This will allow you to go back to factory settings like you bought it from the store

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock

Depends is you are Wifi-Only or 3G....

I would use the one of the guides here (the steps we be pretty much the same):
Motorola Xoom Hacking Guides

Please close the thred, I got it back to the stock files. Thanks

[Ximmy]

Cool! Glad it was somewhat painless.

[heretic2006]

Yeah, I alway knew someday somehow I would get stuck somewhere. Working with xoom is good, but I also enjoying playing around it quite a bit (just for the fun of it). Of course, Titanium saves me lots of time

The braver the better!

Is there anyway someone can compile the most current up to date info. While this thread did save my butt I did have to spend two days worth of digging for individual info on files that were outdated and can imagine that others are as well.
To the people who contributed to this thread THANK YOU!
