[Q] Flashing new bootloader (afterota and blackthund3r) both stuck at uploading.

Alright, i've gone over the instructions for the past month... finally decided to try and do this.
However, in both HC (0.03.01-HC) and now ICS (0.03.12-ICS), this tool has always stopped at stage 2:
Flashing Bootloader (EBT) stage two - uploading image...
In the dos window...
Nvflash started
[resume mode]
i presume AfterOTA stops at this location too as it stops at 3/5 Flashing.
I know i have the right SBK because i've used OTA (both times) and this has given me the SBK (which was the same after i upgraded to the locked ICS).
I've updated all the drivers on my windows 7 computer...
I've also now done this on two computers.
The only way i've been able to get out of it is to unplug and shutdown the tab.
Anyone have ANY clue why this is happening?
FYI, here is my current build.
Android Build : Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1
Bootloader : 0.03.12-ICS
(Yes i have an a501, however i haven't been able to get past the bootloader update at all).
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Got it. New v4 of blackthund3r's tool worked.

same problem
Im experiencing the same exact problem you posted, so I thought I'd just add to it rather than start another. Ive tried so many times. Ive tried AfterOTA and the APX Flash method but I keep getting stuck on 'stage two: uploading image'. Not sure what to do at this point. Ive reinstalled the drivers. Can anyone give me a hand with this?

Well what I did was run the newest apxflash (v4) and the only difference was the new option about bcl and I ran the patch for it.
Good luck. I'm at the point where I don't have a cwm anymore and can't install any Roms. ack!!!

I've seen posts about this, but no answers (or i haven't found them yet).
I found i had to install "1.031.00-Patched-BL-CWM-Kernel.a500apx" first (via blackthund3r's tool)... Once that was installed, CWM was installed in the recovery.
Whew.. back to my a501, alexandra v.

Jeez what did you guys do I didn't really read xda instructions I just plugged the tablet in after a couple fails of it setting it..it worked.. If you don't get cwm from the tools and you have the newest bootloader try installing Acer recovery app from google play then installing the older recovery then download the new recovery from another source I can't mention.that is what I did and it worked.
Pm me if you need some extra guide to what I said or maybe someone will go into another install guide

Its all YMMV (your mileage may vary)... mine took a while to get to where i wanted to go.
I read NOTHING.. and i mean NOTHING about BLT being the cause of why i couldn't upgrade. I didn't know that was the issue as i didn't find any posts about it... believe me i read every single post in that 65 page one about upgrading... many times.. nothing about BLT.

Well, when i installed the new boot loader, there was nothing saying i shouldn't already have the CWM that i installed via the apx tool. However i kept trying (tried about 7 different updates on my bootloader, and none did it).. however its possible it could have been a downloading issue (as the files were being saved as .zip and not .a500apx). So it was difficult to install a new recovery when i didn't have CWM in the first place.
Once i installed the one i mentioned in the post above, i ended up with CWM so i was able to continue.
I've got an SGS 1 and a SGT, and i know how to follow instructions to the letter... its funny though that i've been able to figure most of the issues out on my own in the end. Usually technical and not an instruction.
I'm hoping this post will help anyone who happens to have the same issues i was having (as the 2nd poster was). I read in the upgrade to ics bootloader post that someone had the exact same issue i did (no cwm after install), and there was NO answer to it.

I was not trying to put any one down if I came of that way.. I didn't know about cwm that is why I stated what I said that I just did what I thought would work and it did.

Its no problem, all good. I'm just happy I finally have ics on my a501.

CM10 killed my P7510. I'm sad.

After searching hard for a solution, I have come to the conclusion that CM10 fried my tab's kernel memory.
What initially happened was just a random freeze while I was using the tablet, running the CM10 preview build. Keep in mind this was a couple weeks ago or so.
I hard reset the tablet, and it randomly boots into download mode. Okay... nothing weird. Reboot again.
Back into download mode. Inspection reveals the message "Reason: No Kernel" at the top of the command line.
I've been at work all day (thankfully a slow day) and I've tried just about everything from rebooting the tablet into recovery mode - which the device no longer has, either - to Odin, to ADB. A final google search directs me to this thread, where it appears the same thing happened to a non-rooted user and he had his mainboard replaced (assuming for free) due to hardware malfunction.
So I guess I'm just here looking for insight, perhaps closure. Is it really dead? If so, how can I make the best of this? Anything that I can salvage through a teardown? Perhaps a gadget I can build with it?
Any input at all is highly welcomed - even wanted. Please, give your thoughts on my loss of this tablet.

If your able to get into download mode, your tab is not dead. (Hopefully you can still get into download mode)
I had a similar problem recent too. I had to ODIN a couple times to fix whatever my problem was.
Download an ODIN stock ICS version for your device (assuming its US wifi only based off the model number in the title). You can get it here http://www.sammobile.com/.

Take your own advice and reread your post before acting like an ungrateful douche. You never said whether you tried Odin multiple times either. Not a great way to get anyone to go out of their way to respond.

If you can't flash to a stock ROM with Odin, with the "Re-Partition" option checked (select the correct pit file, get it from samfirmware/flashing tools), it's pretty safe to say it's a hardware fault.

Help with my brick please

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?

Need serious help fast

Running twrp rooted stock rom on verizon. Everythings been fine since Ive had this which has been around a month. All of a sudden my phone restarts by itself and goes into recovery. I tried to restart and it just stays in recovery mode. I only have about 8% battery left now and have no clue what to do. Just plugged my phone in and I cant tell if its actually recharging. Anyone know what to do? Ive tried a restore and its still stuck in recovery. V2.6.3.3 any help is very much appreciated. thanks

How do I do that? its the stock rom. I never loaded one a different one.

Oh, I thought you were just using one of the stock ROM's from xda... not the actual one that came with the phone. However, you can try to push a new one to your phone with adb and flash that. Do you still have the recovery zip? Maybe recovery just went bad and you can reflash it...?

Here's one thread. You should Google it for other I instructions but there are tons of them. Also try to find the adb and/or SDK download files.
Sent from my LG-G2 using Tapatalk

OK, still working on this. Dont have but a few hours here and there to get this running again. Been to tons of pages reading, reading and more reading. Downloaded and installed SDK manager. I guess it also installs ADB. I found it within the SKD Platform-tools folder but when I click on it all it does is open, goes thru a ton of commands then closes. I also found it in C:ADB folder. Does the same thing. Doesnt stay open so I can type anything in it? Ive got flashtool installed also. I cant get into download mode on my phone either.
Also trying to go this route LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) in General section but dont know exactly which file to download. Right now downloading the VS98010B_13 file. Probably need the VS98011A_01 but man it takes an hour to download. Which one do I use? Also dont know if I have the D800 or D802? My box says LG-VS980. Dont know if that matters. But again I dont think I can use this method as I cant get into download mode.
I do download the KDZ files and not the TOT files right?
Any other help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Try the return to stock method with the vs98010b file first. Sounds like ur phone took an OTA hence the recovery bootloop. If u can get back to stock I'd root right away and stop any of the OTAs. U can just flash the 12B ROM and radios after installing a recovery.
Don't flash or use any files for d800 or d802, Verizon model is vs980.

OK, kept googling different things and kept reading pages from here and ran across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 [FIX] Installed TWRP and now you're stuck after OTA under G2 Android Development. Man, that fixed it and wish I wouldnt have flashed that backup I had now, took me back a month where Ive changed a few things on my phone since but I do have my phone back. Still would like to know which file to download so I have it down the road.

If your in twrp have you tried to aideload a ROM then see if it flashes? Just need adb installed on PC and setup, drivers installed and ROM on hand.....

Sprint LS980 up ****s creek without a rom

Hey guys rookie mistake went to flash a new seemingly successful rom and forgot to make a back up first. Now my phone is on but black screen. I can get into recovery but I have no backup. Also when I connect my phone to the computer it no longer recognizes it. I have all up to date drivers. They worked yesterday. Ive been reading about bricked g2 on boot loop and other variances and trying different things all day with no success. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

bump
This may have been discussed before. Ive searched here and google. Plenty of horror stories and the only one ive seen with the same problem never got a fix or least didnt reply on the boards about being fixed. My phone will not turn off no matter what I do. The screen is slightly lite up and will only boot to recovery(where I have no backups) and download mode where it basically does nothing and will not connect to my computer reguardless of it having the right drivers. So I have no way to my knowledge to flash a new/stock rom. I even got desperate and did a hard reset. Changed nothing but deleted the original rom I was attempting to flash.

Install pda net driver or koush drivers.
