Not Really Sure how much help i can give you seeing as i never seen anyone brick one of theses devices. Im pretty sure you don't a Elocity A7+, from i beleive they aren't available on the market. You should have a regular Elocity A7.
Before you check the link below be very positive you can't get into recovery, sometime it take a little long for it to come up.
Also if the tablet is new you should also think about calling or emailing Elocity to see if it can be replaced.
most of use aren't very active in the Elocity A7 forum of xda, so you may get more help at Tabletroms Forum
I don't no much about Nvflash but you should read into this it may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022273

The A7+ has been selling and shipping for the past few weeks, i just got mine delivered today. Now I'm here learning that trying to use the A7- hack might be a bad idea.

a7+ bricked fix
See Destron5683 response for black screen, make sure you use the a7+ update if you bricked your new a7+ trying to upgrade it.

Any advice for following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21109150
and then not being able to access the keyboard? Thats the point I am at currently.

This is an older thread, but assuming you have not tried it, see the recovery information at ElocityNow website:
http://www.elocitynow.com/prod_a7-plus_recovery.shtml

You should be able to get back up and running it the recovery posted in the post above. I got my A7+ stuck in a boot loop when I changed something that I shouldn't have in the build.prop and the PC recovery method worked just fine.

Black screen when trying to go back to stock

All,
I've been rooting Droids for awhile, just got a streak, and I messed it up.
I tried to root it with superboot, and killed it ... regardless, was able to fix, and then tried a few ROMS, cannot get Cyanogenmod off .....
How can I get my streak back to the current AT&T 2.2 build that's out there.... I know ther are tutorials, but all seem to lead to a black screen for me .... please help
I had the same problem.
When I had the black screen, no logo, no nothing, I was still connected by USB. While the screen was still black I unplugged the USB and the phone came back to life in recovery mode.
Just a bit of info, try using QDLTool (repairtool) from http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
It reset me back to stock 2.2.
Just make sure you follow the Main tutorial instructions.
...
Well, figured it out on my own, thanks to those who replied.
Unbeknownst to me, the bootloader (recovery.img) that you use greatly impacts which .pkg files you can and cannot install.
So, for future reference, if anybody runs into my issue in the future, make certain you have the proper recovery.img file ... worked as soon as I figured that out.

Touchwiz Update bricked my non-rooted Tab (static lines across screen)!

I decided to go ahead with the TW firmware upgrade. Everything seemed to be going fine until I tried to install it and it told me there was an error and I needed to hook it up to Kies first. I had already been using Kies with it on my Macbook for a couple weeks now so I went ahead and plugged it in. Kies recognized it as usual and all the information came up.
So I went on and tried to install again and it said it needed to reboot.
It reboots and comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen like normal (right before it starts the galaxy animation). Next thing I know it comes to a screen that looks like the attached images! I immediately unplugged it from Kies and shut it down. Every time I start it back up it does the same thing. I honestly have NO idea what to do. I can't even return it as it's past the 14 day period and I (stupidly) didn't buy Staples' bogus $160 insurance.
I was not rooted before. This was a stock tab that I bought at staples. It had the firmware 4.24 when I bought it, I think.
Please, any help is appreciated. I tried doing firmware recovery in Kies but the pop up comes up in Korean and I have no idea what it says...
Edit: More info. I'm not the only one with this problem. Two other people have posted on AndroidPolice about this. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/08/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wifi-touchwiz-ux-update-is-now-live/
The software is definitely running underneath all that mess but it's literally impossible to see what is going or to touch anything.
I guess this thread is about the same issue

Thanks, I'm checking the thread out now. I probably should have searched more than just Google before posting but I freaked out when it happened.
No need to freak out . we have xda and dev to solve all our problems
i have exactly the same problem as you... what should i do now?
I get the same screen but after rebooting! pfft it's making me really sad :\
I'm sorry but I tried reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 and couldnt understanding what should I do!
What CWM + my device is not rooted, all I could understand is that the thread contains instructions on how to root your device..
I just want my normal screen back!
Please tell me what to do in simple english :\
And now I did a wipe and the stripes are gone, but the screen is black instead :\ still not working. Please help me!
Are you sure you didnt sit on it?

So I need to follow all the steps for rooting except the last one which is the actual rooting? Great thanx! Do I need to use Kies? My current computer is Mac but I guess I need to download those things to a Windows machine to make it work, right?
Thank you very much
I had the same problem. I upgraded the update on my non-rooted tablet and got the funked up video mess. Per instructions from Samsung support, I hard booted to the recovery menu (power+vol down, then power up, down on download screen) and did the factory wipe. After that I ended up with the black screen. I could tell things were working in the back but couldnt see a thing. I figured I would throw it on the Kies and it saw that there was a factory upgrade so I let the Kies run through it and it works fine now.
Dont know if this will help w/other but it worked for me.

Need some help please and thank you

Hello everyone,
I have been on this site for sometime, always reading and waiting to be able to take the plunge into all the fun.
I am a Bell subscriber, and have enjoyed my phone till this point, but now I would like to be able to get everything back to normal.
A couple months back, I messed up my Atrix and decided to flash the following sbf file onto it, 4.2.11.MB860.Retail.en.FR.
It has been running good since then.
Now I want to be able to get back to the Bell software and be able to take the OTA updates, and have my car dock working again.
I have read until I am blue in the face, and there is so much jumping around from thread to thread, I am really lost when it comes to start this.
My phone is currently rooted using Gingerbreak 1.20, I have backed up everything, and am willing to do anything to this phone to accomplish this. I am not to worried about it, as I have purchased the extended warranty on it, so I hope I am covered.
My questions are:
Do I need to unlock my phone to proceed to the next step?
if so, I use ihop-bell?
I install CWM, I currently use the one with Rom-Manager
I download the Bell 2.2.2. Gobstopper? Install it?
I have the current version of RSD lite installed on my computer
then I ????? this is where I get lost again.
I know some of you are saying read the steps posted, but it seems they all lead to different pages and I kinda got lost in the process. Would someone point me to a step-by-step that could help me please?
Sorry for inconveniencing any of you, but it is greatly appreciated
Thank you
Fred

A500 UNBRICK/RECOVERY Major Assistance Needed

OMG I am SUCH AN IDIOT!! And now I've gotten myself into a real jam here.
-Acer A500, official ICS 4.0.3.
-Broken Rotation Swtich
-Missing MICROSD Card but can get a blank one.
Little old smart me tried to be cute and change the build.prop in attempt to get a non-supported app to work....I made a backup of the original INTERNALLY....didnt know what the hell I was really doing, rebooted the tablet and now I get a blank black screen after the acer logo. Tried to go into recovery but since I have no SD card I get the dead Android with a Red Exclamation point.
Can't try factory reset method because the rotation switch is broken!!
I just wanna get this thing back to WORKING condition.
I did some research and tried doing all of these things but couldn't proceed since I do not have the CUID and get find a way to get it in this situation since my sis-in-law came to visit a few days ago and she found this tablet.
I need some serious help to get this working ASAP.

You probably don't want to hear this, but I think that without the CUID, you are hosed. I might be wrong and that is only necessary for unlocking the bootloader, but I know that I have read a ton of posts that mention you should write your CUID down and put it somewhere safe.
Thanks for the consideration. Being that all I did was change the build.prop and not end up with my situation by screwing up a ROM install or something along those lines, I was able to recover by downloading the latest update a D putting that update.zip onto a fresh sd card and booting into recovery.
Recovered with no issues and even no data loss!
Glad you got it worked out.

[Q] My new G2 freezes when trying to install TWRP

Hi guys, here my friend and I are pretty new to G2 stuffs so forgive us if we did or ask anything stupid here. Right now we're kind of in trouble coz we can't get our G2 to even turn on now.
We bought the F-320L version, which was changed to D802 already when we purchased. We tried to get TWRP onto the device so that we can start having fun modding stuffs, but then this where we're stucked now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472223
We are totally clueless on the 1st and 2nd method so we chose to try the 3rd method.
After running Flashify, we selected Flashboot, and then that's it. The phone freezes since then, at the screen as attached image.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0jr84jmzipl8abx/20131016_230129.jpg
Now we can't go anywhere except this screen at all. Even unplugging the battery and inserting it back in, it will return to this screen.
We can still go into Download Mode, but we're so clueless now that we don't wanna try anything risky (yes, I know it's too late, but we're trying to fix it).
Can we have some kind of pointer here?
I don't even know I'm giving out enough information or not, so if you need any more information, please let us know here.
