So I changed a few things in the build.prop-file to get incompatible apps work on my TF 201 but then I somehow restarted it and now it won't boot anymore. Well it shows up the Asus logo and so one but then the screen just stays black (but still illuminated).
I already wiped the data and tried the recovery mode (with the Volume-down/up-button) but they didnt work, it still doesnt boot.
So any ideas which could help me? Im thankful for every help I can get.
EDIT: wrong section, sorry, please delete since it's actually a question.

Sorry in advance if im posting this in the wrong thread or if this has been posted before....
I have a Vibrant and i was updating using samsung kies. I never rooted my phone or did and customize things to it. i was going through the updating process when samsung kies said that the update failed and to disconncet my phone. so i disconnected my phone (the screen said download mode and do not turn off target). now when i try to turn my phone on i get a black screen with a phone triangle and computer logo. it will not go in to recovery. cau u please help... thanks
hopefully there is a way to fix this without using odin
odin and download mode there is a thread in development about in the bible i think about unbricking a vibrant, its very hard to brick a vibrant completely, I have done so before, but you can recover via odin.
Your phone is not fully bricked. and your better off than me half the time
How were you trying to boot into recovery if you've never rooted or customized? Your phone is not completely bricked if its turning on so I'm sure there's a fix.

You can boot into recovery without being rooted... i did it before when i wanted to do a hard reset.. plus the tmobile rep wanted me to try and boot into recovery to do a hard reset and clear all user data.

remove the battery for five minutes, then reinsert it. You can now go back to the normal download mode. ANd I think you can even boot up normally. The former scenario happened to me so I am quite sure of that.
THANKS!!!!
big thanks to everyone i got my phone up and running again. i used odin (which was tricky) and followed the steps i saw in a youtube video. right before i was about to give up i called tmobile and ordered a replacement phone ....lol...tried one more time and it worked im SOOOO HAPPY this is a great community of people , couldnt have done it without u guys THANKS AGAIN!
I always brick my baby, and Odin is always there to save me
So here is what happened. I made a backup of a stock atrix firmware and copied the backup to my atrix on deodexed 2.3.4. I tried to install the backup but it stops somewhere along the line and says error formatting data.
now the phone wont connect to the computer. when i opened rsdlite however it shows that the device is connected.the phone bootloops and I cant copy anything to the phone cause i cant connect to the phone except through rsd sorry if i posted in the wrong section cause this is the only one i can post in. and i searched for solutions but no one has this same problem. PLEASE HELP
then if you CAN use rsd lite place phone in rds lite mode then use "stock sdk from motorola and flash it back i went all the way ro 1.26 then over rhe air updated to 1.83
but i also continued on to unlocked bootloader and flashed gigerbread build (alien ) after installing cwm
im also on usa at&t fyi

My atrix wont even boot to the RSD etc selection screen
So i had my phone rooted and wanted to unlock the bootloader so i followed the steps from pudding but it did not work. everyone has a NS version of the phone in RSD Lite but mine was SE not sure why. So i tried a few times to flash the new image and clear everything out to no avail. now i don't even get to the menu that gives me 5 seconds to select what method i want to use to fix it.
all i get is a flash of this on the screen before it goes black again
SVF:105:1:2
Failed to boot 0x1000
(stays for a second)
Entering NWFlash Recovery Mode
(Flashes under the other text but really fast before the screen goes blank)
windows wont even recognize that its plugged in. but what else is odd is that while plugged in it seems to be charging as the green notification light stays on.
any help would be great. thank you

Bootloops means soft bricks which is not really a problem. When your phone Boots up, press the down key along worth the power button. Then keep pressing down button until you see Android Recovery. Do a factory reset or flash another room once in there.

Sounds like a hard brick indeed. At this moment in time hard bricks are incurable but some people said that taking their battery out and putting it back into their phones solved their problem. You might want to give it a shot.
A guy also claimed thay its possible to unhardbrick your phone using the jtag technique. You might want to read up on it.

There's soo many forums and different avenues to go down! after about 9 hours trying various things to make my atrix (running normal 2.3.4 rooted with no other cm7 or rom or any other mod) i am left with my atrix at the boot screen OR if i leave it to boot it just makes the logging on noises then shows the white screen, then nothing.
I stupidly followed the list to freeze using bloatfreezer. Not the updated list where it reads next to HOME (make sure you have another launcher) so i have frozen 'home' and i am stuck.
i cannot do a recovery because it has that fail message x2 everytime i do the power volume - and + on the android recov.
I am completely lost. i do not understand what hard/soft/adw/ push email/ or other jargon means. If you have any solutions i'd be more than grateful.
I hope i haven't bricked my phone, cos a 2year contract and no new phone is gonna push me near that ledge lol

If you're on AT&T - get RSD lite and find the proper sbf file and flash it. If you were using Gingerbread, make SURE you have a GINGERBREAD sbf file - or else you'll permanently brick your phone. If you're on Bell - you'll need the appropriate file for Bell to flash, same rules apply - If your on gingerbread, make SURE its a gingerbread file you're flashing.

Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I seem to have gotten in over my head. I have flashed various ROMs to my a500 over it's life without trouble. But about a month ago I tried to flash a new one and it didn't work. Came up with an error about partitions (I don't think it's important at this point). I was using TWRP recovery at that point. After the error, I could not get anything to work. My back up wouldn't recovery, I couldn't flash the last ROM I used, nothing worked.
I tried a few things to attempt to fix it, but I think I only made matters worse. I no longer have TWRP recovery installed. I think I have only the stock recovery. Tablet sits on acer screen when powered on. I haven't been able to install any update.zip packages. PC doesn't seem to see device when plugged in via USB. I can't put device into USB debugging as it doesn't boot so I'm unable to follow most guides I see.
Can anyone help me? I'll be happy to provide whatever information I can.
You can't get into Fastboot? You sure you have the correct drivers? What bootloader were you using and what kind of rom were you trying to load? Your gonna have to be more specific to garner more responses

No, I can't seem to get into Fastboot. If it works, the tablet should display fastboot in the corner, right?
I have the Acer USB drivers installed. I believe they are correct.
I was using TWRP and attempting to install Jelly-Bean_4.1.2_CM10-FLEX_v6supercharged_Aroma(22-Nov-2012)
Also, thank you for responding. Sorry if I seem a bit noobish. All the ROMs I have used up until now just worked so I didn't think about too much.
I'm really missing my tab. Hopefully someone can help me out.
My TAB appears to be completely bricked as stated above. No boot. Just the Acer logo on the screen on power up.
I think what I did was format the entire thing. So that there is nothing on it. I have blackthund3r A500 Manager v1.02 installed and it displays "NO A500 Connected!" in the bottom corner. As I stated most guides tell you to turn USB Debugging on, but I can't do that since it doesn't boot, and really I don't think there is an OS installed on it at all.
Anyone have any suggestions, advice, ect?
hello everyone.
im new with iconia a501 because its my friend's.
we tryed to update it, but its stuck in bootloop.
update we installed is oficial ota 4.0.1.
everything looked fine untill it rebooted. then system ui crashed. and it keeps rebooting and crashing .
I dont know what to do. I really feel his pain in loss.
sd card is not working, wich is not hellping.
dont have cpuid, so cant flash.
no root or cwm installed or backup...
is there any possibility to revive?
or is there any specialist in uk, who could fix it?
I think I read all threads in xda foroms. and everything I could find in google.
can't apply any method found.
any ideas? or suggestions anyone?
any help is appreciated.
I'd be trying a full wipeto fix System.ui from crashing. If u can not boot, you'll need to factory data reset....reset pin + pwr+ lock switch, tab should vibrate then erase data and cache.
Also boot while holding volume up button...do u see a fastboot menu or "skrilax_cz bootloader" screen...just to see which bootloader is on the tab.
You say sd card won't work.....wot doesn't work..check both sets of drivers are installed. ...Acer and android ones.
Hopefully the data reset will get u going...If not there's still few things we can try.
You can get yr cpuid/sbk thru apx mode using ubuntu, there's a sticky in general forum.
Thank you very much I'll try everything tonight.

Hellow guys
Here's my background, I rooted my Tab by using z4root which works fine. I flash zImage using Odin with 20% battery (I think this cause the problem D:
After it says "PASS" I immediately pull it from the pc and boot em up. In the first "Galaxy Tab" logo it has Funky rainbow lines,and on the second logo which is "Samsung'' it stops there and vibrates then it repeats all over again. When I try to boot it on recovery mode rainbow lines appear then go back to First logo screen. Download mode works fine but Odin wont recognize it .
After one week of searching on the internet, I cant find my situation. So, I was thinking to post it here on forums. Thanks in advance!
Weird. I recall reported funky rainbow lines when people who have GB bootloader, which doesn't need to be patched, but people go ahead and patch them.
But you flash zImage, not bootloader.
But since it appears in place of the logo, I would still say your bootloader is the one damaged.

Umm, Yea I saw that in forums too. That's why I couldn't find my exact situation, I don't know what exactly I would do
Btw I flash it with my galaxy tab in 10-20% battery,Did it cost the problem? I also immediately pulled it from the usb cable even if not boot up completely, but the odin says PASS. What do you think?
Please give me exact detail what would I do. I appreciate your fast response,Thank you!
I assume you were on froyo?
After z4root, you should immediately check if you have a protected boot loader. And patch it if so.
Now in this state, it is unsure if you have a protected bootloader.
What were you trying to achieve by flashing a zImage?
Actually I can't think of why except to root, but you have already done that?
Anyway, best you can do is charge fully, go to download mode and flash a stock rom.
If on the off chance your bootloader is not protected, you can use overcome method which can be found at my signature.

Yes Im on froyo 2.2 (I think)
Btw, I already charge the tab and go to download mode. The odin couldn't detect my device
I always saw you saying to use overcome method, the problem is I don't know how. I only saw some download links there. I don't know what exactly to do and to download.
Do you have a guide which I could follow?
I hope my tab will fix soon. Thanks!
Well. The link is the forum thread.
The thread has all the files including PDF guide.
But all useless without Odin detecting.

What do you mean? Is there no chance of getting it fix?
Do I need to fully charge my device? I charge it maybe only 80-90% battery.
Do I need to wait 20 minutes till Odin will detect it? Please answer :crying:
Btw How do I know if my boot loader is protected or not?
Might be a solution

Hey connect your tab for about 10 minutes or more 25 minutes max it will detect and then load odin with the stock rom files and flash! after it says pass your tab is ready. Make sure your tab has 70- 100% charge :good::good:
please help me, even i tried to update from froyo using odin and now i see rainbow lines.. when i start downloading mode, odin recognizes the tab, what to do?
rainbow lines? I thought that happens to people who upgrade to GB, then tried to patch the bootloader (unnecessarily)?
Is that what you did?
