Hey everyone, I have been a long time lurker here and several months back I bricked my kindle doing a wipe with CWM. I had been following the CWM thread in the dev section and also this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698977 but after Entropys latest talks with Samsung engineers it doesn't seem like a solution for us already effected users will be released. My kindle is able to boot into CWM but I am unable to mount any of my partitions. Is there anything I can do to revive my device? Thank you for your time!
I don't think anyone has been able to do anything yet. If you can find Kindle with a broken screen or something online you can swap the motherboard. I think that's the only solution for now.

hi all i attempted to use the dextor hack and i messed up with the flash all data step i thought it did it but it didnt and then when i went to update and it was done i just get a black screen when i turn on the device i can not even go into recovery mode its just basically lighting up the screen and nothing i am very tech savy so i can do just about what ever i need to just somebody please help me out hours of looking and i cant find a single thing on this
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

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.
Hey,
I recently became the owner of a bricked Iconia a500 tablet. Beyond that, I don't know much about it and I cannot contact the previous owner...
The situation:
It will boot the the Acer logo, but it doesn't go beyond that.
I've searched this forum (and others) for ways to bring it back to life. A factory reset doesn't seem to do anything at all.
I can boot into recovery mode to load a rom, but cannot find the proper rom. CWM does not seem to be installed. I've looked for stock roms but none seem to work.
When I try and load a rom I will inevitably get a white triangle with an orange exclamation mark inside of it. Next to this is the android man.
I've found a few threads that purpose links to a stock rom, but a lot of them have file shares linked to Megaupload... which is.. well non-existent now.
Again, I can not tell you the anything about the current software.... if you know how I can find out that alone would be a huge help! = )
Many thanks,
Robert
This might be your best luck..
This flashed thru your computer adb.. apx mode..

Hey Erica,
Thanks for you very speedy response!
Well, I read a lot of that thread... lol probably more than I should admit. I followed the procedure but was unable to get a good connection via USB.
I was finally able to get it to register a Factory Reset thanks to that post. Had tried it a few times before... must have not been pressing hard enough?
Either way, it is stuck on Erasing Userdata... and Erasing Cache...
I saw that it was suggested it could be a hardware issue... What is your opinion?
Thanks,
Robert
I still think its a rom issue..
You might could try to download the rom again. and try again.. there is also another thread in the DEV section that does the same thing but differently you could try that or maybe posting there where a TRUE Developer might be able to help you..
I just repeat what i have learned from my own mistakes and read from others..
Sorry im not more help ..
Trust me Erica, you have been a great help! If I find a solution, I will update this thread with it = )
Thanks!
Robert
Hey guys,
It seems I may be one of those .01% that have completely bricked my NOOK COLOR (though I sincerely pray not).
I have tried everything I can find on here and each time it tells me that it has installed properly - Then, when I try to reboot, it just takes me back to CM Recovery v3.0.2.8
What have I done and is it fixable?
Thank you so much for the service you provide to "dummies" like me!!

First you need to upgrade that 3.0.2.8. It is too old. You can get version 5.5.0.4 on my tips thread linked in my signature. If that does not fix it, look at my section on recovery flag bootloops. If that does not fix it look at my partition repair thread. Do them in that order.
My Mojo has died... It acts like it wants to boot but never makes it - just leaving a blank screen. I feel like I have lost my bff. I was trying to install the REMIX OS, I guess it went left instead of right. IF anyone is willing to help me , I will even ship it out to ya if it will help. I am in Poplar Bluff, MO USA. I feel so sick when I think about how I killed my bff. Thanks Andy.... Pls reply.
Welcome to the club. Mine died on me too. The blue lights comes on but nothing but a black screen.
Have you guys tried looking up old threads with the same issue?
@kevinthefixer helped lots of folks with bricked (or seemingly dead) MOJOs.
Those posts are actually the reason why I don't wanna upgrade my MOJO with new ROMs. The only thing my stock rom doesn't do is play videos on Prime Videos. I can survive without that. And for some reasons, it magically mount my external HDD on boot with no extra app or stuff. I can't ask for more than that.
Hope you guys get some fix among those old threads. If not, try to contact Mad Catz if they can replace or something. I know rooting doesn't void the warranty. But I don't know if that's the case with unofficial builds. Plus, @Unjustified Dev was begging those Mad Catz guys to release the source code so that he can develop better roms.
Check out the recovery thread in the development section. It explains how to force the MOJO to boot into recovery via Fastboot using a PC. Now, I don't want to say that this makes the MOJO unbrickable, I don't believe all the gods together could do that to any machine. But it makes bricking it very unlikely. Once you're in recovery, you can try a factory reset, flash the same ROM again, flash the stock FW back (extremely quick & easy if you shot a Nandroid backup before flashing a custom ROM), and (this one I recommend whenever changing ROMs) format your /data partition.
I doubt Mad Catz will warranty your hardware because of a software problem that you caused. I recommend you learn to repair that problem, especially since it is so easy on the MOJO.
Hello,
Does anybody know how to fix the "INPUT SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE" error.
Please help, I dont want to give up on my Mojo.
Having kind of the same issue. the hdmi was starting to come off board so i opened and fixed it. But when i turned on nothing but i did the the instructions from the forum and was able to flash twrp on it and custom rom. I can do whatever i want in recovery but when it boots i get nothing no light on front. ive tried all the custom roms and official and wiping everything but still no boot felt like a big loss. is there anything else to do? What did i possibly mess up strange since i can get into recovery.

Very strange, you're saying that you get a video output when booted into recovery but not when booting a ROM? From your description I'd be ready to say so solly, you have a hardware problem, but if TWRP can output video it's almost certain that it's a software glitch. Did you try a full format of the /data partition? If that filesystem is corrupt it might conceivably cause that.
How did you fix the hdmi port. Mine was a little loose so I soldered the 4 contact points but with no luck. Can you give me some pointers of how you fixed yours? Thanks.
Hello there, I've searched on this forum some methods on trying to get out of the boot loop. Someone gave me this tablet and i thought that i would reset the device but it just ended up on a bootloop. I know that this device should probably be thrown out, but maybe there is a chance to use it. If you had a bootloop problem and fixed it or even bricked your a500, would you mind posting the exact thread here for me to read.
The links on this forums were mostly dead so if anyone can give working links please?
Thanks!

If it bootloops I think the best way is to use an update.zip to reset the device.
