I think I bricked my tablet - Gen8 General

Hey all I'm getting is the Archos screen then it freezes...I think I may have bricked it. I went into Dev edition and tried to format the whole device but that didn't work. I was running a rooted rom then the Graphics started acting funny. I went in tried to reset the firmware and now it's not working. Anyone have a fix I can attempt

Hi !
What version of rom you had installed before !

It was actually 4.0.7 from.you haha. I installed a few apps then the graphics got funny so I tried to repair next thing I know it freezes on the opening screen. I imagine i.just have to reflash the image but how can I adb push it if i.can't get my system on.

Moved to general.

Ok !
but how did you manage to install aRom for Gen9 in a Gen8 device ?

I'm using a g9 device Idk how we ended up.in g8 section.lol but it's the 80 g9 I tried everything I can think of

Anyone with some advice Also could a Mod please move this to G9 General. My device is the 80 G9. I can't push to ADB because the device won't boot. Is there anything else I can do?

GOT IT! Had the bright Idea to grab the small firmware from the Archos site and do the firmware update with it from the A80S menu! thank god lol

Hi !
If you have SDE installed , try this :
- reset your device ! ( press & keep about 10 sec. on power button ! )
- now after release power button , press & keep volume down and also press and keep power button ! -> normal you will be able to see SDE menu !
- in SDE menu just Reformat System -> Reformat Device -> I undestand -> OK ! , connect USB cable and copy here official firmware 4.0.7 .aos file !
Good luck !

i didnt flash recovery yet, though i can access the files via usb when its locked at lock screen, so im going to try adb push

Or you can always toss a full stock ROM image on microSD and flash without custom recovery.

Not sure - never done any full package flashes, only update packages. Pretty sure I've seen a bunch of them around these fourms.
Best of luck - hope you don't have a dead tab.

so far it seems i do, tried a update, and still does the same thing
it would be fine if i didnt have a custom boost animation in the system/media
i still have 12 more days warrenty.
is there a way to delete it via computer?
not sure if anyone knew about the hard reset, i contacted acer and played dumb, though i told them what happened.
i was instructed to
Power down the device
hold Vol Up + Power for 3 sec
continue holding Vol up, and keep switch the screen lock back and forth until "erasing cache" comes up on the acer screen
at which point you stop and let it run its course.
said it would take 30 minutes. i fell asleep, 2hrs later i checked it, still same. recontacted acer, another tech said to do the default hard restart with the push pin
worked like a charm
in process of rooting, installing CWM and making backup lol

Hello ,
Did have the same problem and solved it by flashing the update.zip found on this site.
I've put it on the root of the SD card , push start and holding vol down , and then perform the update .
Can you explain me tough what you men by " do the default hard restart with the push pin " .
Thanks

Did you get it from a local retail location? If so, I would just march back there with my receipt and not give too many details - i was working on a picture and it broke and I have no idea what is wrong, etc - they should just give you a new one.
Have you tried clearing the cache? There is a combo with holding power / volume up when booting and using the rotation lock switch, not quite sure how it is done but i think you just hold both and flip the switch like mad - totally sure I have seen the process posted here somewhere.
If you got it via online order, you still should be able to just return it.
Or call acer - they might be able to work some magic.
Best of luck, hope you get it going or at least get a new one. Really sounds like you have a defective unit, I rooted mine the day after I bought it, have had it for nearly two months and multiple rootings/unrootings/rom flashes and have had no issues at all.

Help please! :( need to nflash b70 device.

Hello, need some help please.
Had my 101 with JB Nightlies rom and wanted to try another rom. I've downloaded super wipe for samsung galaxy S3 and run it in my CWM.
The process didn't finish and the tablet restarted giving me an endless message saying to wait a few moments and that it was deleting everything.
The problem is that this process does not stop and i can't get in CWM again. It just stays there... tried to restart and the message comes again and no CWM.
I figure it out that i have to nflash my device but i never did it. I found Wheelie on this link: http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70/.
But i just don't know how to do it on linux... just installed Ubuntu.
Can anybody help me please? :crying:

First don't run scripts that are made for other devices, especially a super wipe script, not only that, some roms done need a super wipe, refer to the install directions on each ROM page.
Second,using olife though terminal is probably one of the more dificult methods to use to do what you need.
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012&highlight=tool+one+click+stock
It's basically a simplified package instead of you using terminal, it's really straight forward but ask if you need help.
Great software m8 this is probably what i need!!!
The funny thing is that i've been here for 2 hours clicking on vol + and power button and i can't get in to APX mode and i know that i have the correct drivers installed because after the problem append i successfully connected to APX once

Are you clicking like a short press or actually holding them down.
To get into apx you need to hold both of those buttons down while the power is off, usually for about 5-10 seconds.
If it's boot-looping try holding the power and volume + button for like 30 seconds to 2 mins.
I've gotten stuck in a boot loop before and I just had to hold the buttons down for a while before it did anything.
Keep trying, good luck!
Btw is the script you're running on the internal storage or on an SD card?
If it's not even letting you boot android or recovery I think APX mode is your only hope.

It was from the sd card.
I think my problem is my cable because before this happend to me i tried to copy a rom from the computer to the tablet and it wouldn't connect. I've order another cable from Ebay yesterday and let's see what will happens.
This program is very easy to use so i think i will not have a problem. :good:
Will report when i get the cable
Thank you very much!!!
Well, i tried on another computer and i got in APX mode and used the software to nvflash... it totally worked.
Thank you very much fauxsoul for your help :good:
This means that my tablet will never have anymore problems again despite the fact that is a b70 device except if i drop it on the floor! eheheh

Stuck at Android Animation -.-

Greetings all !
Since i am new here, i have a great problem.
So, my phone stopped working few days ago, i needed to log in to my account or something, didnt knew i can fix that with "hard reset" so i googled about 3 hours till i found this forum, great work me !
So i looked a lil bit whats going on here, was searching and searching till i found out how to flash a phone, so i did, and had no success, almost bricked my phone :silly:
So i keepd searching this forum till i found this "

so i downloaded that "setup" file, installed it, worked great, i was amazed to be honest, but to be honest, this is the worst mod ever made for android. cynamogen mod cyna my ass -.-
So here is the problem, i didnt like that 2.3.7 update at all, and that addon cyna thing, so i waned to roll it back, connected my phone to PC, removed SIM, Mem card, found a workin ROM i installed before (before i found cyna and android 2.3.7), used KDZ, selected all the options required, and started an update using KDZ, after it finished my phone restarts it by it self, and god stuck on "ANDROID" animation, i thought its bootin' so i let it about 20-30 min to do so, nothing happens :/
UPDATE:
Now my phone is stuck on the LG LOGO, i cant do any thing, all i can do is go in DL MODE but its useless, my pc wont recognize it, so does KDZ, nothin is recognizing my phone, any solutions ?
So my question here is:
- How do i install 1.6 or 2.1 OFFICIAL version (can be CUSTOM ROM) i dont care, i just want my phone to work again
- What is needed (apps, kdz files, etc)
- Is this so bad, did i bricked my phone or ?
btw. Here are some infos 'bout meh:
- Location: Bosnia and Herzegovina
- City: Sarajevo
- Provider: BH TELECOM
- Phone: LG GT540 Optimus
if u need more info just ask !
I DO NOT recommend to use kdz.
if you don't like cyanogenmod, you can try
1. aosp 2.3.7
2. some modded 2.1 ROM
3. stock 2.1 from LG
they can be flashed via recovery (clockworkmod)
as you now already used kdz again i'd recommend to try the following: turn off your device and try to reboot into recovery:
press and hold HOME and then press POWER.
hold HOME till CWM boots up.
if this doesn' work you may try fastboot:
press and hold CAMERA, press power and hold CAMERA till you see a black screen, PC should recognize a new device (fastboot interface)
if this doesn't work too try too boot and hold these buttons:

[Q] LG Optimus L3 E405 Recovery Dead?

Hello,
This morning I tried to root my phone so that I can force everything to be moved to a sd card since the storage of the system is low not enough to install apps and to install A mod that is more updated then the current GingerBread OS.
I managed to soft brick the device the rom clearly said e405 obviously the developer has a few bugs anyway I manage to recover from my soft brick by A software 'KDZ' Only issue I have now is when I press volume up on boot I get A notice icon trying to say something (image of the icon is attached below) and when I use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery it will attempt to go there, Instead of going to recovery it goes to A loading page then this erases all my data/apps except SuperUser/Root.
Tried everything and it still does it?
When I use the LG Emergency Software it just goes to a page saying not responding??
Any help and ideas would be grateful so I can fix this issue and move on also im mostly A samsung user and im fairly new to lg.
See thee error message below
Once i get the idea of what the icon is actually trying to say I should be in the right direction.
Thanks,
Spudster

Perhaps you can go to ROM Manager, uninstall Recovery, then re-install it?

I saw that icon after flashing back to stock rom with KDZ and a hard reset worked for me. Pull the battery, make sure you not connected to USB or charger, then press and hold home key and down volume while you press power on. Release power when you see LG logo, hold the down and home for a while until you see android unpacking a box. It takes about a minute to see this, so you gotta wait for it. The phone reboots or shut downs, don't rememberwhich

Ok I will try that and let you know if it works in a few hours I gave the phone to my brother for free since I bought A samsung (used to samsungs and love then
Anyway should also mention that when I try to reboot into recovery with rom manager it reboots goes to the loading box thing then it wipes my data Like i said I tried that method in a few hours and get back to you here.
nope
didn't work ;.(
Man go to the screen u have posted the images above , then use KDZ to flash back Man!
This is "DIAG MODE" so select it in KDZ program
So select KDZ file ( download if u have tried urs so far)
No error .. when u click to start upgrade ur phone will apper in emergency mode. Then the KDZ will flash flawslessly
Sent From ... Lg e400 <-- {[Brasilian Here]}
Still didnt work it flash though but still didnt fix the recovery..
These lg are actually useless a simple firmware flash should do the job.
LG staff are also rude to be honest rang up and because I tried to root and I was doing the right thing going back to stock they denied support and hang up without me giving A reply. Glad ive switched back to samsung s4 and Apple IPhone 5C.
Thanks for attempting to help :.)

Samsung A20 semi-hard bricked

Please help ASAP. I tried to install lineage os with MindGapps. After I flashed lineageos with twrp, I rebooted it and now it doesnt turn on. I tried to go to download mode, but doesnt.
The phone doesnt turn on. When I press and hold power button + volume down button for 7 seconds, samsung+knox logo appears and then 'phone bootloader unlocked' warning appears for few seconds.
An hour ago, somehow I managed to open its download mode. To test how it got opened, I restarted my device, but unfortunately, I couldnt go back to download mode. Is there any way to solve this problem? I want to go back to download mode
Hold the volume + and - buttons down at the same time and then plug in the usb cable into the phone.

I first flashed twrp-black or something and it didn't work properly so I installed twrp-official downloaded from website. But then, after installing the official one, the recovery got corrupted. I couldn't boot into downloadmode, but luckily, it was just some key combination that was wrong, so, with a right key combination. I booted into download mode and reinstalled the initial firmware.

Yes, it just looks like it is bricked but it is not yet completely bricked.
The solution was simple.
First, completely power off device (don't restart, just turn off). After that, by certain keys combination, go to download mode.
It seems it doesn't work while restarting but works if it is completely turned off.(At least in my case it had been so)
