I just got from a friend an Acer Iconia a500 he says that is bricked.
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572622
But I can't continue because I don't have ADB access, what should I do?.
Thanks for all and God bless you.
EDIT:
I got everything to using the secret APX mode, but now is still everything the same the Android System is still there and not charging and not touchscreen...
Go to the bottom to see how I solved this lol...

If your tablet Iconia 500 (ONLY ACER ICONIA A500) went crazy, and present the next symptoms (Yes it has flu...):
-flu
-Android System icon
-Doesn't want to charge (20% / 15% 12%).
-TouchScreen is not responsive.
-Always when you turn it on says Shutting down and never shuts down.
-In case you're using ICS shuts down immediately without even make you see.
The solution is the next!:
1. Download this file: http://www.4shared.com/archive/zyP91E0C/root-321-V4.html (This is the file to put recovery in case that you don't have it).
2. Extract all the files in any folder, it doesn't matter where you put it.
3. Go to Image Folder and rename the recovery to: anyname.img.
4. Download any of the lastest recoveries for Acer Iconia a500 (it will work believe me lol).
5. Put the recovery in the Image folder (Ex. Iconia/root-3.2.1/Image/) and rename it to recovery.img
6. Now open with Administrator Rights DotNetDetecter.exe
7. Continue, continue and continue.
8. If you have ADB Active just put it and it will install it. (If you don't have it just go to 8.1)
8.1 Shut down the tablet completly, connect your USB Cable *micro* (Tablet-Computer), take a paper clip and put it on reset without release it then press the power button and count until 4 or u4ntil you hear the sound when you plug something into Windows
8.2 Now your tablet is in APX Mode and the Acer Utility should now work.
9. Put your UID with a 0 in front of all the numbers (if you don't have it go to secret step).
10. Now let everything work. After everything is done you should have recovery now.
11. Press down volume and the tablet will take you to the recovery.
12. Download some ROM 3.2 or ICS 4.0.3, install it via recovery.
13. Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?9svnvdk982sxrw4
14. Install the version you have choosen via Recovery.
15. Voila! Your tablet is revived right now
Press thanks button if this helped you =D
SECRET STEP TO GET UID (IS NOT SECRET THOUGH... lol)
Just go to USB tools and use USBdeview, and is done... (Remember to stay in APX Mode)

Acer Recovery from the Market should have the most recent RA Recovery, and the original GPL compliant CWM recovery.
Or if you already have the original CWM, you can get the most recent RA Recovery here. Just check the threads for the flash files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459821
For CWM you will need to go to tegraowners.

Problems with opening up settings to turn on usb debugging
Hi Travisantonio,
I have a question:
Did you have any problems opening up the settings when you were on the black "android system" screen?
My touch screen is completely unresponsive at the moment.
Maybe I didnt read or understand everything but with my tab USB view didnt give me my ID or it wouldnt work. Got into ADX mode but couldnt get things working. Tried ADB to list devices and would never list anything. I heard my computer beep when I would hook it up but couldnt really do or complete anything. I couldnt get the DOTNETDETECTOR (PBJUPRADE_ to work. Tried A500 APX flash utitlity. Tired nvflash and falied. Guess I should list more information but at this point I tried so many things to recover dont remember the order I did things. I originally tried to upgrade to a Rom but all things failed and actually not sure what ever got completed. Only thing I could tell my tab did besides black screen was the power button either was white(some type of one) or orange.
This helped me to recover my bricked Acer 500 tablet after a failed ICS upgrade. The Acer update seemed to go okay, but on reboot it froze at the Acer logo and had an error in the corner. Every reboot or button/reset resulted in this. It would not recover or do anything else. I was able to get the USB device ID /serial number using the USB deview 64 program in the usb folder. There were several entries for the tablet but only one had a usable number (bottom right line at the end). Then the tool wiped the tablet and reloaded 3.2.1 and booted to factory new. Thanks for the instructions and to all the other XDA-ers for the tools. I am now on ICS properly.
Trying to recover a bricked acer a500, I just have a black screen on boot with no boot logo, vibration or letters or words on the screen
trying to enter recovery/update mode doesnt work
Im up to the step where is says put in your UID into the program
Just go to USB tools and use USBdeview, and is done...

I did this and found the device but where exactly is the UID located?
looking at other threads, the serial number is the UID however the serial number entry is blank for this device

this method is total overkill for your situation....
how did u get yr tab like this???
if u have total black screen - is the power button lite on?????
what bootloader version are u on
have you had a custom recovery on there
to get your cpuid follow the first link to a guide in my signature - you need to follow steps in the guide if you have any probs then post in the guide thread
the previous owner said he tried to install a custom rom and I think it crashed and this is the result
the power light turns on (white)
if I just power it on, the backlight turns on however its just a black screen, nothing else happens
apx mode seems to be the only thing working right now, I thought this method would be my only chance to get the recovery mode working again
I dont know anything else about the tablet, bootloader ect...

ok thats cool, apx mode works!!!
well try this first - using hard reset:
1) Turn off your tablet,
2) Rotation lock on your left;
3) Press Vol Up closest to rotation lock and power on simultaneously
4) As soon as the tablet vibrates you can release the power button and you should start to switch rotation lock left and right till you see
Erasing Userdata...
Erasing Cache...
Vol Up is still pressed;
5) The tablet starts to format
6) Your tablet will be as clean as it can be.
otherwise plan B!!!
do u know whether tab was running HC or ICS?
u need some package files and a flash tool either apxflash or nvflash
if u start the tools and then connect your tab via usb cable to your pc
there are links to guides in my sig
my cpuid guide shows u what u need and where to get it, info about your cpuid too and drivers - altho you wont need to worry too much seeing as youre in apx
civatos guide has all the links to the packages and all the info you need to patch the bootloader, then you can flash one of the ics roms and youre all good!!!
the process is simple enough - but if you get it wrong it can be frustrating as heck!!!!
tried that method, get no vibration, devices just turns on to the black screen like normal
the only problem right now, I cant retrieve the uid
adb
when I type adb devices, nothing shows up
A500 manager
tried to the use the uid retriever tool however it just stays blank, same for the bootloader
it says it detects the A500 in apx mode
usbdevice view
shows no serial number for this device
I see there is a A500 motherboard on ebay (cant link to outside links...)
"Acer Iconia A500 Tablet Replacement Parts - MainBoard - 32GB MB, H6000 001 PBJ20"
"Complete with Android 4.x installed, 32GB memory and ready to install and boot."
could I get that and just replace the whole mobo and it will work fine?

OK just clarify - black screen, that is, nothing at all displayed AND Power Light ON??
IF u r in apx mode then
U have a couple of options
EUU flash back to HC 3.2.1 or
apxFlash to ICS
Everything you need for doing this is in my cpuid guide link in my sig.
open apxflash tool do not connect your tab Yet
Go as far as the enter apx mode
Now connect your tab to yr pc
Windows should install apx drivers
Once installed. try clicking blue arrow first
If u don't see the do u want to flash window then
You'll need to click on the "enter apx mode " button instead then
Click blue arrow
Hopefully the PC and tab are feeling pretty friendly and decide to take each other on
The tab should flash the bl and install recovery.....u should be good to go from there!!!
EDIT you can try cmd prompt on nvflash folder
Run a500.bat or.bat file that should kick you to bootloader mode
its really important that your screen display something in white letters!!
Entering Acer download mode OR
Entering apx mode
The flash will fail if u don't see something like this. This holds true for all methods

Wayyyy outta my league m8. Sum1 else will know....
yes, its just a black screen, no vibration, no boot logo, no letters or words on the screen, backlighting for the screen is on, and the power light is on
when I press the blue arrow in a500 apx flash tool it asks me for my SBK, going to that generator site it then asks for my UID which I cant retrieve

if you do not have your cpu id and
if you do not have access to adb and
you're stuck in apx mode
then things are looking grim.....
the only way to get into your tab without yr cpuid is fastboot
but you need adb working for that
someone else was stuck in apx mode a day or two ago, try a search...maybe...
I'm sorry guys I was a little off of this thread .
I will be glad to help you guys to get your UID or any problem that you have even though I don't have the Tablet anymore.
Thanks for all and God bless you all.

There is no way to fastboot the tablet in that mode, the only way is to get the UID and then decode it and NVFlash the Bootloader after it is done then put ICS or HC and the EC_ROM files and the tablet will be working again.
I'm gonna throw in the towel and just buy a new mobo for cheap, it seems im screwed without the UID and cant retrieve it either
I wish the previous owner would have gotten the UID beforehand
thanx for the all the help though

What do I exactly do?
I dont have any access to the devices files and do not have a dump
ok have an Iconia tab a500 here from a friend, he tells me he put in wrong adapter.
I think its bricked ..
ALready read alot of stuff here and did try some things but cant seem to find the correct solution .
I can connect in apx or fastboot and adb recognizes it also these all come up as hardware..
i dont have cpuid and thing is locked also and have usb debugging prob and isnt rooted ...
Bootloader = V0.0312-ics
if i start up i get " boot veriefied failed"
i found some downgrading method on here "method 2" but when i do it and he reboots i get the message "abort illegal blabla"
I would really appreciate if someone could help me point me in the right direction to start.
Using win7
also .. for repairing this thing ... i never came across such a complicated tablet .. djeez
Thx in advance

how do you get fastboot with the ics bootloader??? Just wondering out loud!
you can try fastboot first see this thread and try flashing the recovery.img there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092414
run fastboot devices command and see if it returns you a ?
if it does go ahead and run the erase commands for userdata and cache
then flash cwm_recovery.img

Yes in fastboot it ruturn the "? fastboot"
my Bootloader that shows up when in fastboot says on acer screen :bootloader v0.03.12-ics rest of screen is black
in fastboot when i do oem unlock says in my terminal that it worked .. and on the pad the acer logo apears ..
if i ask for version it says 4.0
if i ask for serial he says : Kal-E1001
i read on site here that yer usb\UID has much to do with cpuid... my usb\uid is something like SB\VID_0502&PID_3201\5&1dd2df13&0&1 if fastboot connected i see it with usbdeview
if connected in usb recovery i see USB\VID_0955&PID_7820\5&1dd2df13&0&1 in deview
how to these relate to cpuid? or they have something to do with the kal-E1001?
Also i live in Belgium ... so i cant figure out wich or what packages to download but i got several yes .. prolly all ...
JUst info i wanted to give ..
But thx for the File gonna try that 1 now

This is what you need to see "0502" under VendorID and 3325 "ProductID", so again the numbers you posted arent the right ones
you need Linux to get your cpuid - there IS no other way for you now
see eppeP's method in the guide or the sticky in general by srbeen
Until you do this your tab will remain bricked -
Last resort - you might ask your friend to run usbdeview from his PC

There is also the option of building against the Windows Driver Kit using MSVC.
This have the slight disadvantage of having to download about 1300MB (MSVC+WDK) and no instructions if you don't have any idea how to compile.
Besides having to have Windows...
Hi everyone!
I am workiing on my problem since soo many days, now I am asking for help.
Here is all infos I can provide to you:
1) In january, I played with ROMs and CW, but I don't remember the names or versions I played with. For all those months since january, my A500 worked perfectly. August 20th, in the morning, I pressed POWER to play with it, and nothing happened: only the Acer logo.
- I can't open in recovery, when I press Power + VolumeDown, I have this:
Erasing cache before sd update...
SD update cmd: recovery
--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip
Booting recovery kernel image
Recovery verified failed...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- USB from my PC can't communicate with the tablet at this point, so I can't use any ADB commands.
- I can open the tablet in fastboot ! I tried to flash with the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, but the tablet respond:
Fastboot: Not support the command in Lock Mode
Failed to process command download: 004d7000 error(0x2)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Even if I launch, in this right order:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[got the same error msg from the tablet]
- I can open the tablet in APX mode ! But I don't have the CUID of the device........... I tried to find it from USBdview, and I even tried with Linux.
I tried all I could find on Internet. Maybe someone here can help me ? i'm sad that there is nothing to "plug and reset"
Thank you!

If you were playing with roms and CWM earlier, then there is a good chance your UID number is in one of the Clockworkmod back-up files. Check your external SD card (hope you didn't do something foolish like format it).
You get the "erasing cache etc, because the recovery is borked, and it's trying to run some update file that isn't/is there because it can't boot the OS. Also, bootloader/recovery versions may be mismatched.
With ICS+ you have to have the unlocked bootloader to use fastboot commands. Can't do it on a stock bootloader.
If you do not have a UID, you have to use Linux or an Ubuntu install on your PC. There's a couple threads on how to do this, and what scripts to run. @dibb_nz knows a little more about using linux to get the UID.

Oh, one other thing...power off yr tab and enter apx mode via the buttons...use paper clip to push in the reset button, you should feel a click as u push it...hold it in and then press the power button, wait for the power light to come on and then release the power button. After another second release the reset button. .it can be finicky to get right..if I remember correctly yr tab should vibrate too

So I intstalled the WP10 preview which includes support for the 520, but the settings app didn't work and I couldn't reset the device so I used the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to revert to 8.1. However, as the firmware was about to install, the device went into flash mode (as it does while installing a firmware) and an error dialgue opened on my laptop saying that there was an error. After that my phone's screen went black and its not vibrating or powering on even when connected to a power source. I doubt that it is restorable, but any help would be much appreciated
Thank you guys for letting me know about the link I'm posting it in the OP so that everyone having this issue can upvote on that thread.

I've just got the exact same error and I've spent the last hours trying everything possible and every tutorial to make it work. I'm afraid it's completely bricked. It's not responding to anything, when plugged into the pc it shows up as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" which is usually a very bad sign, and every software recovery or phone recovery tool I've tried from MS and Nokia either don't detect it or say it's not supported.
It's dead.
520? :/ Same here. Time to get a new phone for school, I guess.
Yes, a 520 as well.
Just a heads up, if you give the windows phone subreddit a quick read you'll notice we are not the only people to have this issue. Apparently several other people trying to roll back their phone have it completely bricked and in the QHSUSB_DLOAD situation.
I don't think MS can do anything about it, since the boot crapped out you either need to buy the tools or get it repaired by someone having them, but at least it proves there is some kind of problem with rolling back from the preview.

It's not responding to anything, when plugged into the pc it shows up as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" which is usually a very bad sign, and every software recovery or phone recovery tool I've tried from MS and Nokia either don't detect it or say it's not supported.
It's dead.

same here
After a bit of reading more and more people are reporting this, so please put your own experience on this technet thread, it's a good idea to centralize reports where Microsoft can see it.
I can't link it here (don't have the permission to post links yet) but it's the first result by typing "Lumia 620 bricked during rollback procedure: recovery possible?" in google.
NL525 w/ red screen here.
feherneoh, pls make tutor!

Be sure using good cable. Try few times (i did 3)
[QRCODE][/QRCODE]The same problem with L520. There is already post on Technet regarding this problem
You can search Google by typing in: QHSUSB_DLOAD technet
Please upvote, then we would have some respond from Microsoft, maybe alternative driver, tool or something...
My Nokia does not turn on
The same problem! My Nokia does not turn on. I've tried everything! Any solution?

Here it is:
1: Find your Recovery Tool folder on your harddisk. Mine is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Phone Recovery Tool"
There should be a file called thor2.exe there.
2: Open an administrator command prompt here
3: Find the ROM Recovery Tool downloaded. Should be in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Packages\Products"
You will need the FFU file for your device.
Mine is "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Packages\Products\rm-914\RM914_3058.50000.1425.0005_RETAIL_eu_hungary_429_05_443088_prd_signed.ffu"
4: To flash your device with THOR2, enter this to commandline:
Code:
thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Packages\Products\rm-914\RM914_3058.50000.1425.0005_RETAIL_eu_hungary_429_05_443088_prd_signed.ffu"
Replace filename with your own
5: After flashing completes, reboot your phone by entering this:
Code:
thor2 -mode rnd -bootnormalmode

It says this error:

Same case
Same problem with DLOAD
The solution seems to do a JTAG... Bad news for normal people ::crying:
Bricked Nokia Lumia
Actually, the red screen means that the phone went into its UEFI MODE.
In UEFI MODE your phone could be restored as normal by a HARD RESET (see key combo).
If you have a hard luck, your phone will automatically start in Flashing Mode (IMO(0x0000001)) which only works on the downloading procedure when on Rolling back.
The RollBack program has to put your phone in Flashing Mode in order to gain access to it's microchip.
Well the app itself knows what to do, but something failed.
In this point, you disconnected the phone and tried all you've known to power it on. Meanwhile the app deleted it's cache file, it no longer knows why your phone is in that state and your PC will get it as QHSUSB_DLOAD which is a Side_Load driver for Qualcomm Enabled Phones.
At this point, RIFF JTAG is the only solution as your BOOTLOADER is dead.
Good thing? It could be fixed by any GSM Service and the price could be small.
DO NOT try any Nokia Care / Refurbish / Restore app. All of them are created to work with a phone that has it's bootloader working.
None of them will cooperate to reflash it.
Even if you manage to reflash the OS, you don't have a BIOS / BootLoader....
Hopefully, Microsoft will create a tool to fix this as it only occurs when Rolling Back from Windows 10 Tech. Prev. and 8.1 to 8.
But until that, your phone is dead.

Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem with my zenfone 5 (a501cg). I have searched a lot but still can't find out a proper solution So I post it here and try to provide as much information as possible so hopefully developers at xda can help me.
My phone is rooted and I'm currently using modded rom called "bazzrom pinaslang" in the forum. Recently I want to use another rom so I decide to use adb sideload again.
However, the problem occurs: using adb sideload only show "error" message". BUT Adb devices show the phone.
Then I decide to use adb reboot fastboot to enter fastboot. But the phone only show a usb icon, and using "fastboot devices" doesn't show the device anymore.
I try other way by enter recovery mode "adb reboot recovery". The phone show resting android with "no command" message. I also try hold power and press down volumn after that but nothing happend. I try anything with that "power" + "volumn" combo but nothing happend (or it just shutdowns the phone).
Also, using "power" + "up volumn" to enter Droid boot doesn't work.
Driver is install. In device manager it shows "Android composite adb interface".
The only good news is my phone still boots normally and I can use it. Please help me get back my fastboot so I can upgrade my phone to Lollipop and other modded ROM.
Thank you so much !!!!

Hi dgadelha, thanks for your reply.
I have tried your suggestion before but phone only reboots and display usb icon. I also try power volumn combi like i did in my post but still nothing happened.
Usb debugging is enabled.

In that case, follow the "Last resort" part of this guide http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=33800
It will reinstall your fastboot when the USB icon appears

Hi dgadelha,
I have seen your link before my post, but I still wonder because the "last resort" in the link is used for "bricked" phone or the one that doesn't start up or stuck in somewhere. My phone can still boot and use quite normal : ( except one thing that my sd card always unmounted in this Pinaslang modded rom.
TG.
UPDATE I decide to try xFSTK but my computer still recognizes the device as "adb..." . if I turn off developer mode it becomes "portable device" in Window Device Manager.
The xFSTK can't recognize any Cloverfieldplus. (it shows "CLOVERFIELDPLUS...: 0")

Hi,
Because the last resort will use a hardware function (xFSTK way) to update your dnx, ifwi and fastboot images. This way you can restore your fastboot.
Thanks.

You must instal the drivers it mentioned.
Also it will appear as Cloverview when the USB logo appears
Thanks!

Hi techgeard,
Looks like it's a driver timeout.
Which OS are you using? I see they used Windows 7 or before on the tests.
Also you should try getting xFSTK developers (on SourceForge) to help about this issue.
Thanks.
