I get to step 7 and I'm having issues. The device is able to connect, however, it states on the device screen that the device is still locked, repeatably.

This is the error in the cmd,

Are you sure you want to restore back to stock? (y/n)y

This Will Restore Your Xoom back to Stock, Locked Factory State. It will wipe all your data that is not saved on the Micro SD-card.
This program just automates the fastboot steps.

This will return you Xoom to Honeycomb because that is the only fastboot files available to the community.

The usual: Myself, Android Forums and any other person you want to include are not responsible for what you do with this or your device.

I have tried this out on my 4G Xoom and it worked great so I thought to share it and also made it for the 3G and WiFi versions. I do have ADB set to run where ever I need it on my PC and this is set up to run ADB in a specific folder for those user that don't have ADB installed. If you have never installed ADB and this works for you please post back.

This will help you if:
1. You need to return your xoom to stock
2. You screwed something up and are boot looping or your system keeps crashing.
3. You just want to try it out for me.

Downloads:
4G Xoom Restore
3G Xoom Restore
WiFi Xoom Restore

Steps:

1. Download the zip for your Xoom
2. Create a folder on your PC C:\Xoom (that's a Xoom folder on the c drive)
3. Unzip the contents of the restore file into the folder you created so it looks like image
4. Plug in your xoom
5. Click on the Xoom_Restore.bat
when the screen pops up answer yes if you downloaded the correct file, no if you didn't and go back and get the correct one.
6. If you don't have your moto drivers for your Xoom installed answer no and follow the instructions on the screen to install motohelper. Then reboot your computer, plug in your Xoom and allow the drivers to install. Restart this program and answer yes you have drivers installed.
7. Follow the rest of the steps on the program
8. When your Xoom is restored you will have to allow the updates to download and install to get you to ICS or Jellybean depending on your Xoom.

Good luck and let me know how it works for you.




Thanks for your information, after 3 years of running wingray 4.4.4 the google services keeps crashing (since January) so I thought the best thing would be to go back to stock.
My xoom has been bigparted using twrp, will this all be scrapped after the restore or will it keep the big partition?
Also, this might sound dumb, but when I plug my xoom in to the computer, should it already be switched on or do I leave it off.

Do you or does anyone still have these files? I can't seem to get the page to open.
