here is how to fastboot the images. You already have everything set up.

go to the folder c:/xoom
go to the top left corner and click the folder icon the bar next to it should turn blue
type cmd and hit enter
a command prop should show up
type fastboot and a list of commands comes up if not post back here
with your xoom off hold volume down and power button until you see fastboot across the top
then plug your xoom into your pc
wait a minute for the drivers to install
the type each fastboot command in the command prompt one at a time waiting for each to finish before typing the next. you can copy and past each one if you want.

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

when this is done use your volume rocker to select ok and your done.
 
I have run both and I a running cm10.1 and I like it better then eos4. Eos stopped updating their ROMs so I say go cm10.1.

I have a xoom wifi, unrooted, that was updated to 4.1.2. I never had any problems with it until a week ago. I frequently use the speaker dock, and noticed it was acting strange when I would dock it. It seemed to be having trouble with the auto clock mode and was very glitchy; widgets would not load and it seemed over tasked.
I put it into its case and did not use it for 4-5 days. When I went to use it it seemed dead. I held the power button and nothing happened. I attempted the reset (power + volume up) and nothing as well. It always gets excellent standby time so I could not imagine it drained. I plugged in the stock power cord this time and attempted to power it on. Still nothing. By now I am frustrated, my 5 year old is chewing on my ears, and I try to once again reset without giving it any time to charge. Finally, it wakes, I place it on the dock and go do something else. 2 hours later its still in the boot animation. I tried everything I could think of.
Here is where I am at:
1.I have downloaded your wifi fastboot zip and placed the files in C:\Xoom.
2.I have installed latest drivers version 4.2.3.
3.Device manger showed xoom without yellow exclamation until I clicked on it.
4.Now when I plug in stock usb cable it will only show without exclamtion if Xoom is in Loading Fastboot state or RSD. It installs different for each. I have never installed it as either btw.
5.I tried your .bat file and cannot get passed device recognized. It cant see it. Device manger has it installed without exclamation, but not as a xoom.

Thank you in advance.
 
Thanks for the quick reply.
It shows as: Mot Single ADB Interface

Ran steps and fails because device is still locked error(0x8)
 
Type fast boot oem unlock and answer yes to the questions and then use the fast boot commands posted earlier again. Do this all from the c:/Xoom folder.
 
So after unlocking, device driver was unloaded as xoom rebooted. Driver that installed after boot was for xoom. All is well in device manager, and my xoom is welcoming me with a nice beautiful start button! Do I still need to run your .bat to lock it back down, et al?

I am very happy!
 
btw cmd code is: fastboot oem unlock
I researched it but did not want to jump the gun. I prefer to learn from those that know.
I assume I need to run the the files in your zip but am just checking and curious as to why.
Thank you so much for your time and effort~
 
When you ran the fastboot commands (damn auto correct put the space in before) you manually did what my script does automatically.

Since you are at the start menu you are good to go. Great at job. :) :thumbup:
 
Big thanks OutOfPhase for this.
This helped me restore my Xoom to pre-ICS version.
One addition. My xoom was locked like some of the others and the xoom_restore.bat failed. So I manually ran
fastboot OEM unlock
This allowed xoom_restore.bat to run to completion.
Now I'm not sure but I also allowed the 1st software update HLK75F to get 4G support.
It could have been pulling the sim card and re-inserting that triggered the 4G reactivation.

Anyway my Xoom is much faster now without ICS.

Does anyone no if there is a way to permanently reject Android updates, so I won't get prompted continually?
 
Hello. I am running into some issues. I would love to get some help here. I have a Xoom with LTE from Verizon. It was rooted ( I didn't do it) I am trying to return all the way to stock. Every time I lock the boot loader it doesn't want to boot all the way it says it's in red mode 2 then I try with the rsd program to push a sbf file and it gets stuck at 37 percent
 
Hi there, I really need some help...
I followed the instructions step by step but when I reboot after locking, I get stuck with the LNX error!

Please I'm really stuck now :(

EDIT: Okay I got CM10 working on this now, so at least I have something to play with... but if you can I'd still like to know how to get around this error.
