Wasnt implying the OP was pointless. Was just stating the other way (if you can get into the OS).
Does anyone know how to restore to the 'out of the box' configuration? I've done the factory reset, but the panels aren't the same as when I first powered the phone on out of the box. It seems to remember what widgets I had active, etc.. Could Motoblur be remembering my previous widgets and their placement? It's not a big issue, just curious.
Ha, ha, I just realized I haven't posted on XDA since my Fuze / Tilt 2 days....guess it's time to change my sig and profile pic

I might try testing that. I'm gonna exchange mine and see if motoblur retains the widget positions.
Yep it's motoblur.

were you trying to unlock your bootloader? if so, boot into fastboot mode (if available) and use the command 'fastboot oem unlock'

Ok so I have been running the Dexter mod version 1.2 on my elocity, and I got brave and decided to update to v1.41. After installing I am stuck at a screen that says "Booting recovery kernel image". I have been trying to find a solution to this, but I feel a bit in over my head, as I am quite new to this. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction of a fix if there is one? I'm not exactly a tech genius but I can follow step-by-step instructions Anyone?
Make sure the file size of your .zip is 104mb
Could have been a bad download.
Re-download, make sure to check file size.
Start from scratch. Making sure to do the wipe/factory reset and clear cache.
Hope it helps. Bricks are so much less entertaining than tablets.
My .zip is showing as 110mb even after downloading again
Since I am stuck at the "booting recovery kernel image" screen I haven't been able to get back to the recovery menu...is there a way to force?

If you hold the power button in for about 15 seconds it will turn off and you can restart the process.
Hope this helps you.
After it powers back up it keeps taking me to the same screen instead of the recovery menu...
After it has turned off. Removed the SDcard...Hold the button in for 2 seconds and release...Then hold the button in again till the message about holding it in for 5 seconds appears...Keep holding the botton in...DO NOT RELAESE IT till the config screen comes up...Navigate to factory reset...choose the YES option.
That should then reset back to factory settings. I would also redownload the Dexter Mod again, just to make sure it wasn't corrupt.
That should clear it up for you.

For some reason it won't take me to the 5 seconds message (it used to before all this no prob)...it just has the same "booting" message when it initially comes up and if I continue to hold down the power button, it will power back off instead of the config screen

Sounds like you'll need to try to do a factory wipe from recovery and then flash a zip of the stock rom (which you'll need to copy to your SD card)
Did forget your own password or buy this one hot?

Did you try a full wipe of the tablet? Hold down the volume up key and the power button until the tablet vibrates. Release the power button while still holding the volume up key, and slide the screen lock button (next to the volume up key) to the right and then back to the left.
The screen should display 'Erasing Userdata', you can then release the volume key. It should then erase the cache, Acer says it can take 5-10 minutes to complete. The tablet should then reboot, and you may be able to get in from the stock settings.
If the tablets hangs at 'Erasing Cache' for more than 15 minutes, force a power down by holding in the power key. The try the power/volume/lock routine again.

Hi, after updating my acer Iconia Tab A500 this afternoon (Jan, 6), my tab rebooted as usual and after it switched on it got stuck on the Android splash screen. I switched off and on the device several times and tried resetting it (from the reset button) but nothing has changed. Boot is looping continuously but doesn't open up. I would appreciate if someone can help me out with this problem and resolve this matter as quickly as possible so I'll start using the tab again.

FACTORY RESET WITHOUT LOGON
ACER A500
1. Power Down
2. Make sure the Screen orientation is off (slide to left while landscape mode)
3. Hold down the right volume key (Volume up (+)).
4. Hold down the Power Button.
5. When it buzzes let go of the power but keep hold of the volume up button (+)
rock the screen orientation switch quickly back and forth once.
6. Should say :
Erasing Userdata....

Hi thanks for your help but I already tried this with no success. I also did the manual reset where I inserted a paper-clip where it says reset, but still nothing. It justs boots again and gets stuck at the Android splash screen again. The strange thing is that it flickers as if it is going to move on but it repeats the animation of the Android splash screen in an endless loop.

Pressing the reset button with a paperclip does NOTHING. It only powers it off, basically. It is not a reset as you're thinking. It is like hitting a reset button on a computer. It just reboots it, it does NOT reset the OS.
Did you follow the instructions I gave you to actually reset the OS? And did you get the messages saying it's erasing data etc. If not, then you need to get that working.
Please let me know.

Hey TimmyDean, I used this method and it definitely worked for me. I had the exact same problem the OP did where no matter what I did, I got stuck in boot loop. The difference is I didn't update anything. I simply tried rebooting my tablet cause it had been running for like 4 days straight...lol
Anyway, I got it back to some weird looking ROM, and it works. Now I'm just trying to do a nandroid restore to get my old settings back.
*I think the 'key' to using or trying this erasing data method Timmy Dean has posted is exactly when you feel the tablet vibrate immediately release the POWER button but keep holding the Volume+ (right volume button). The second you release the power button, flick the landscape lock switch (the switch to the right of the volume button) real fast to the right and back left again, leaving in the left position. I had to do this a few times to get it right, I kept thinking it wasn't working either...but I tried and tried again.
Thanks again TimmyDean

If you installed a bootloader for another version of tablet it is most likely a true brick. Acer might be able to fix but it could cost you... At least your tab still serves as a nifty paperweight...

I will "1 up" you. I will pay shipping.
Seriously though, there are only 2 options.
1. If you all were clever enough to get your UID number before all this happened. Then, you can NVFlash a new bootloader and recovery. Threads for getting your UID can be found in the Dev forum. Lot's of ways. I hear tell you can even look in your windows/temp directory at the tmp files and maybe find it.
2. You can try to look at Vache's thread in the Dev section "full package and updates". Grab an update.zip, put it on your SD card, and try holding either Vol+ or - and PWR at the same time. See if there's enough life left to install it. Probably not, but you never know. Would also try the rotation lock button thing as well. One never knows.
If you see the update start to install and fail, try a different update file. Heck, try it a couple of times.
Other option, send it to Acer for repair.

Are you able to access recovery at all? If your able to access recovery try preforming a factory reset to see if you can get past the boot animation. Also check out this information that may be helpful.

so the deal here is...
so once your in bootloader, hit recovery, then you will see the little dead droid with the triangle... this is where it gets tricky...
keep tapping ( DONT HOLD) the power and volume left ( dunjno which is up or down, so i say left, the one close to the power key)., or in somke cases just mash all the buttons till the menu pops up! then click wipe data then wipe cache and the device reboots itself... give it a try!
i dont knwo why the recovery menu doesnt pop up unjtil u keep pressing volume up/down and power buttons, just keep tapping them in the recovery menu weith the android triangle and u should see the menu pop up

I've actually heard that it's a fastboot problem (with the tool, not the firmware on your device). Downloading the latest version of platform-tools solved this particular problem in a hurry for me, and it's probably best practice in the long run.
Is there something I can do in this situation except i don't have stock recovery installed?
Nevermind had a moment
Please I really need some help! I think I've totally killed my nexus 10
I can get to fast boot but cannot flash anything. As soon as I try and say flash TWRP I get "FASTBOOT STATUS - DATA005fe000".
I've tried using the stock firmware and using flash-all.bat but get the same issue. The erase commands work, but then command to flash the boot loader gets the same issue.
I'm hoping I'm going to get flamed for not searching, 'cause that means I've missed something, but I've tried to search to no avail.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

It rebooted and wouldn't pass the nexus X logo.
Now I can't flash anything.
In the Nexus Root Toolkit it says that if all goes wrong try Odin.
I've downloaded a version (I'm familiar with it from my Galaxy S), and got the drivers working... does anyone know where I can download the tar files?

Did you get a chance to do the first twrp factory data reset? If not you may be able to boot into recovery mode and try a manual factory reset..
If your tablet is on, power it off.
Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power until the device powers on. You should see an image of an Android lying on its back.
Press Volume Down twice, until the screen says "Recovery mode."
Press Power to restart into "Recovery mode." You should see an image of an Android with a Red triangle after a few minutes.
While holding down Power, tap Volume Up
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it
for some reason with wugfresh the first twrp factory reset failed on 2 out of 3 tests. I had do just do the manual factory reset above and all was well. Good luck! :good:

By using 4.2.0 (rather than 4.2.2) and trying the flash stock and unroot option I can now install CWM or TWRP as a boot loader.
I installed CWM and did a factory reset, then retried the above. This got the data error when installing system and then when finished got a file veririfcation error in the fastboot status. When I reboot I just get the Google logo and the unlock at the bottom.

Wow i haven't had my n10 long enough to help you much more. Sounds like you might have some corrupt files from wugrfresh download/install? Maybe download from another mirror and try again? good luck !!!! Keep me posted!
Re: [Q] Bricked my nexus 10!
Not to be rude or anything but toolkits are the devil when it comes to Nexus devices. They are so easy to root and ROM that anyone can do it. Toolkits encourage ignorance to what and how things are getting done.
For starters go Google the fastboot files for the Nexus 10. Google Fastboot.exe and add it to your system folder on windows if you are using such.
Extract the downloaded "manta....." File and then extract the zip file contained.
From here make sure you are in your boot loader and type "fastboot devices" ensure your serial shows.
Then one by one go into the extracted folder and erase then flash each partition EXCEPT the bootloader. Don't mess with that at this point. After flashing the recovery, system, boot and data files reboot into the recovery and perform a factory reset. It should boot from this point.
On Manta, you MUST do a factory reset after flashing the data partition or unlocking the device. For some reason it fails to boot without performing that step.

Yeah after my experience with toolkits I have leaned that the google sdk fastboot is the best method and you also learn the fastboot/adb commands and what's actually happening step by step.

Ok, given all the feedback, especially with regards to corrupt items, I dug out an old laptop and was still getting the same problems, re-downloaded the 4.2.2 image and tried again.... and was more patient this time, and voila! back up and running!
Thanks to everyone who replied, I would not have persevered without your comments.
Lessons learned:
1) On Manta, you MUST do a factory reset after flashing the data partition or unlocking the device. For some reason it fails to boot without performing that step.
2) For me the downloads seem to have been unreliable, try, re-try, cry, weep, try again, punch the desk until your knuckles bleed, try some more and eventually you'll get there!
3) Be VERY patient. I was less patient than my normal impatient self when I saw how super lightning fast the N10 is.
Thanks again to everyone.

Glad to hear it worked out. I found out that wipe step the hard way.
Use the MD5 to verify your downloads if you have any doubts, i personally haven't had any failures
Sweet!
