[Q] My table is in the Acer logo - Acer Iconia A500

Greetings.
I commented, I have a Acer Iconia Tab A500, when turned on, this remains in the ACER logo, note that you do a format to SDCARD, SYSTEM and DATA Recovery from THOR.
I can do to bring life back? Or it becomes a HardBrick?

Q&A Is what you seek.
And rephrase question to while you're at it, please. Don't really make much sense.

As far as I can tell, you\re saying the iconia boots only to the acer logo, and you're using Thor's ROM and Recovery. If so, hold volume down and power on boot, and you should be able to get to recovery, where you can re-flash the ROM.
Hope this helps, if not, please be more specific as to your problem.
Or use a different translator.

You're right, that's what happens to me, but I have no income to Recovery, I'm pressing the appropriate button.
Sorry for my bad english

There will be someone who can speak Spanish?

If you can't get into recovery, you need to fix the tablet using something called "APX Mode". I suggest you google it and have someone who reads English help you as it can be complicated.

I managed to recover, thanks!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516012 If you have flashed ICS LEAK this is the thread you need.
.
Please read both of these two Threads..
From what i could understand in your First post. you did Not wipe properly.
In cwm go to wipe menu
wipe cache
wipe delvik
wipe battey .
Flash your rom.. if the above does not work.
do the above but also Go to mounts and storage
format system
format data
format flexrom
DO NOT FORMAT SD CARD . then flash your rom..
IF THIS DOES not help you . its likely you have a corrupt download or sd card.
Good Luck
Again this forum area is for development only. I will ask a mod to move it. If you have a issue with a specific rom ask in that rom dev thread or in the Question area.

You didnt answer my question. Do you have clockwork recovery or the stock one? If its clockwork then its easy to fix.

Yes i have a clockwork and it isnt working. The problem is that i cannot start my mobile and i just see a google Logo. Unfortunatly i took the wrong rom grh78 instead grh78C. With rom grh78 the startingt phase worked but at the update on grh41 there came a failure message ,,it is not possible to make an update because a wrong rom is installed. I should have taken grh78C,,.
After the failure message I wanted to booten my mobile and after this message there just appears this google Logo.

go into recovery, enable the usb storage option, put the right rom on your "sd" storage, turn off the usb storage option, wipe data(factory reset), flash the right rom, then reboot.

Okay heres what you do. Is your phone currently off? If it isn't then, pull the battery out. Put the battery back in.
Hold Volume Up + Power.. KEEP HOLDING THESE TWO and you should be in bootloader. Volume down to Recovery. Does it work? Yeah? Clockwork Recovery?
Okay. Now you have two choices:
1) Stock: download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968403
Mount the phone via USB in Clockwork Recovery. Download that file and put it in /clockworkmod/backup/ (make sure you put it correct.. otherwise Clockwork wont see the file). Unmount, Check nandroid backup/restore is it there? If it isn't, recheck if you put it correctly. If so, reboot into recovery again.
2) Download a custom ROM such as CM7, Axura, GingerS, NSCollab, MIUI, whatever you want.. mount your phone via USB and put it on your sd card.
Wipe dalvik,cache,factory and flash that ROM (if you flash CM7.. you'll have to flash Gapps right after; MIUI.. flash English Language Pack right after).
Reboot. And it should go past the Google screen.
Alternatively, you should be able to plug your phone in the computer and using ADB by typing "adb reboot recovery" should get you into the recovery as well.
Edit: or do what simms suggested. Either way, you have to go into Clockwork Recovery to fix this.
it isnt working. i just come into a fastboot modus. how should i put the rom into a sd???? The mobile is recognized by the usb.

yes you're supposed to be on a screen that looks like http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qW-hye-fsWM/TWJgxyBheCI/AAAAAAAAAEE/dIO-8DPEs1M/s1600/s1.jpg
if you volume down to the third one, it says Recovery.. that should get you into Clockwork Recovery (Orangeish) http://www.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Clockwork-Recovery-3.jpg
if it looks like http://cdn.androidcommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/device2-540x324.jpg (yeah aside from Dell) then you dont have clockwork recovery.
When you get into Clockwork recovery, there is a option in there to mount your USB. If you're able to get into Clockwork, I'd go to either of the steps I linked above.
Stock, CM7, Axura, MIUI, ETC. You need to replace your ROM with one of these.
Since you seem pretty new, I'd just stick with stock because that's what you're most comfortable with.
Zephik is trying really hard to help you here man. You need to read what he has written very carefully, supply more information, and follow the instructions really carefully. Then you can fix your phone without a problem.
Let us know how it goes.

You don't have Clockwork Recovery then. Do you have the SDK installed? You need to go through the guides to set up SDK if you don't have it installed already.

Download the clockwork recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img image, and save it to the ..\android-sdk-windows\tools directory
renamed it to recovery.img
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and hit enter

You need USB drivers for the Nexus S for the device to be recognized on your system.
Once you get Clockwork Recovery up and running (that orangeish recovery that I linked above) you should be able to refer back to my previous post. Once you complete that, your phone should be up and running.

Or that.. but Odin isn't very popular with the Nexus S.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947950
Option is there if you want to go that route. I used to use Odin for the Vibrant but I'm not too familiar with it for the Nexus S as its not as popular. If the OP decides to go with Odin then I can't assist you.
I really want to see how this pans out. He cannot be any more of a noob than I was very recently and I got the hang of it (zephik helped me too) so he should be able to fix it.
It's amazing the help you can get for free on this forum. If zephik was running a mobile phone shop be would be making money with the information he's providing ( although it would be much easier for him to take the phone away from the OP for 15 minutes and flash it himself ;-) ).

Acer Iconia - Too far gone? Bootloop, No ADB, etc. (Incentives inside)

Ok guys, here's my setup. I am a a ROM and developer and have yet to be stumped until I received this tablet from a user.
The tablet is stuck in a bootloop, no clockwork recovery, only stock, and will not respond to adb. Flashing various imgs all warrant the same response: A quick progress bar and then back to the stock Android/exclamation point screen.
After hooking up a keyboard via USB 2.0, I can move around within stock recovery. I can wipe data and cache. When trying to flash via external SD like it prompts, I get bad volume for /sdcard. I have formatted, diff SD cards, etc. Is there anyway to recover? Willing to donate to the cause.
Thanks!
Have you tried manual flashing via external SD card with image in it and then power on decvice with Vol- and power button held together?
Is this going to be yours or are you trying to repair it for someone?
It might be fubar without adb and no ability to read the sd.
I would assume knowing you that you have already dl'd the acer drivers

Dude I didn't know you were a Rom. Bet you get flashed a lot huh.
On a serious note, TDB is worth helping if someone wonders into this thread and knows how to help, pm him or something. Dude is a damn good dev and all round helpful guy. He'd be a welcome addition here.
I have no experience with these things, but a good starter point would be to explain exhaustively what exactly happened before this issue arised. Were you installing a custom ROM? Did the tablet just reboot in the middle of you doing something? Do you know if it has overheated?

[Q] Can't boot into Recovery from Rooted SDCard

Using this thread, I've successfully installed CM7 to my uSD card, and everything works great, except that I can't successfully boot into Recovery Mode (CWM 3.2.0.1 installed). Current CM7 is 08082011-NIGHTLY-encore.
I've searched through the linked thread, but can't find a reliable solution to the issue.
No matter which method I use to reboot into Recovery, it tells me the SD card is already formatted, looks for install images, then "Preparing to shutdown" and shuts down.
This makes it rather difficult to update CM7 without completely reinstalling.
I'm now having the same problem...
"CWM 3.2.0.1 installed"
How did you get it installed?

Per the linked thread, as far as I know.
I don't have my NC with me now so I can't verify but I doubt verygreen implemented the latest CwM into his 1.3 image.
In fact, when using his instructions, we not even think about the CwM. Just burn his image into the uSD and good to go.
As for boot into recovery, there are 2 options
a. Combination of N and power button
b. Boot into Recovery by select the option during reboot.
So far, I have no problem with it.
Okay; thanks for that info. It'll be a pain to reinstall, but sure, I can do that. Would Titanium Backup help with reinstalling apps?
So...installing new builds, just copy to sd card and reboot? How do you get into recovery then?
Thanks again for the knowledge!
After a few rounds of reformat/reinstall, it won't be a pain, but just take time, if you (I, we) continue to use the NC, do expect multiple wipe/reformat/reinstall, let say by year end, when ICS is ready, I'm sure all of us will jump on it , so relax.
As for Tita.Bck, I personally don't use it but majority of members here do use. They will help you.
Assume you have a good CM7 on the uSD, yes, just drag/copy the new build into it (boot) and reboot into Recovery.
"How do you get into recovery then?" I just said in my previous post.

If you are running from SD... What "recovery" are you booting to and why? If you are booting into the SASD recovery (verygreen's) then this is normal behavior... that mode is only for installing ROM's, gApps, etc.

Starting your own thread for one... this is a completely different issue than the OP...
IF you are running from SD and want to boot into a ROM on your eMMC... just hold "n" and power on... you should get a boot menu... select eMMC and Normal boot... then select Boot Now.
Believe it or not, I do have the EXACT same issue as the OP. No doubt I am not as fluent in the terminology as a senior member, but I don't think your tone is called for. Btw, thank you for your answer hidden amongst the vitriol.

First of all you posted in the Streak forum and the 7 has it's own forum, so that pretty much tells us how much reading and searching you've done...
Secondly, it's as simple a fix as flashing whatever ROM it is you are using, which reading and searching would have led you to the same conclusion also

[Q] Nook stuck on loading on Cyanoboot screen

Hello,
I was running one of the CM9 nightlies and decided to try one of eyeballer's with OpenGL, and was able to make the switch without any problems, but after a while wanted to go to a non-openGL build and after flashing it my Nook won't boot past the loading screen.
I have a 1GB card with CMW which I'm able to boot to, I've tried wiping data, format boot and format system and reinstalling one of the builds that had previously worked, but still get stuck on Cyanoboot's loading screen. Even tried going back down to CM7 to see if that helped, but stuck on that loading screen as well.
What am I missing here? I've formatted boot, system, cache, data, everything, but the issue persists.
Any suggestions as to how I can make my Nook come back to live.

Well, for one thing, never format boot.
After trying cm7, you still get cyanoboot? It should have changed to the green cyanogenmod logo. If not then your flashes are not working.

After flashing CM7 I get the green boot screen, but my Nook also gets stuck on that loading screen.
When flashing CM9 I can press the ''N'' button and scroll the available boot methods, but when I choose one I get stuck on loading again.
So on both CMs I'm getting stucked on ''loading'', which started to happen on Monday after going from one of the openGL builds to the latest non-openGL build.

Ok, that means that CWM is putting the boot files on the boot partition since they change CM7 vs CM9.
Which version is your CWM on the SD?
You can't boot to anything, not even emmc recovery? Or you just can't boot to 'normal'? Do you even have emmc recovery installed? If you don't, get the first file on this post and flash it with your CWM card. You may be in a recovery bootloop, without a recovery.

Thank you leapinlar, seems like it was me having an old CWM on my boot card that wasn't helping me, installed the recovery zip and manage to boot into that from cyanoboot's loading screen and reflashed and managed to boot my Nook.
I'm still intrigue as to how this happened, do you think that when switching between openGL and non-openGL the boot partition got corrupted or something? I've been flashing many roms for almost a year and had never had this issue happen to me before.
Thanks a million for taking time to help me, you're a life saver.

It's possible your recovery somehow got corrupted during the flash. If that happens, it does not clear the recovery boot flag and it keeps trying to boot to recovery and it can't because it is corrupted. And it just bootloops forever.
Also, make sure your CWM bootable card is a recent version. If you have a newer nook and an old CWM and you try to clear data, it fails and you have a mess.
Hi, I am totally new at this but I been having a nook color for over a year now and been running CM7 on it for the longest time. Tonight I wanted to put CM9 on and for whatever I did now I just can't seem to get pass the Cyanoboot screen. Doesnt matter what I do it just gives me a blank screen and stays there. What do I gotta do to fix it or get rid of this cyanoboot and back to CWM so i can re flash everything. Any help would be great. Thanks

Try using my bootable CWM card in my tips thread in my signature. It works fine under ordinary circumstances, but I have been wanting someone to try it to see if it gets you out of that bootloop.
Edit: Just a question out of curiosity. When you finished flashing that new ROM with your CWM, were you able to reboot from CWM normally using the menu choice? Or was there some lockup or something where you had to reboot from CWM by hard powering off?

Just follow the directions in the thread to make the card. Then put it in the nook and try booting. If it boots to CWM, just use it to flash like DizzyDen said. And when you exit, use the menu to choose re-boot.
PS, the hard powering off caused the problem. CWM was not able to clear the recovery flag and you ended up in a recovery bootloop. Let me know if my card boots.

Thank YOU for testing my card and proving that gets you out of the recovery bootloop you were in.
You need to take one more step. You need to put a new CWM back on your internal memory so it is there ready for the next time you want to install a ROM. If you go back to my tips thread, there is a link to a new flashable CWM zip (version 5.5.0.4) that can be put on your internal memory. The link is in item B1. Just download that zip file, then boot one more time to my bootable CWM card and install that zip. You should not need my card anymore after that unless you get in a bootloop again.
I've had something similar going on. I believe my nook has been using the EMMC to boot. It was on CM7. I grabbed the latest open GL CM9 because I plan on giving this to my parents. I wanted them to be able to use the TWC TV/DVR app which only works on ICS. I am stuck in a loop where it keeps going to recovery and neither flashing cm9 again nor recovering to an old back up is working. Is the recovery SD card the suggested method for fixing this? I'm not stuck in a loop but I am stuck and having to go into recovery every boot.
For awhile, the N menu gave me both EMMC and SD card boot options. Now it only has EMMC ones.

You could try the new CWM SD. Just make sure when you finish using CWM to exit from that by using the 'reboot' choice in the menu. Do not just hard power off.

So slap the image on a clean SD card and boot up from it. After it's done and I hit reboot, what would I do to get back to CM7 or CM9? I haven't had to do something like this yet. Any time I've had issues, I've been lucky enough to go back to a saved clockwork backup and restore things back to how they should be

First thing I would try is just to exit the new CWM via the menu to see if it gets you out of the bootloop. Retry booting without the SD in. If it will still only boot to recovery, I would again boot to my CWM and flash the new recovery to emmc. Next I would try to restore your old nandroid backup with the new CWM. If none of that works, flash a new CM to emmc with the new CWM.
