How bricked your phone is? Bootloop or complete brick.
You can try using sony pc companion to repair phone.
Also worth trying is flashtool and standard firmware tft via flashmode.

Did you flash the CM9 kernel?

I bet it's Bootloop.Because he had forgotten to flash the kernel,cause of it's newbie
experience.Flash the correct kernel and it'll be alright.

Hi,
i too need help unbricking
i initially forgot to flash the kernel but thx to my efforts unbricking i cant flash a new kernel (fastboot says not rooted)
I used Flashtool to flash LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf on the phone which did work but before i was "just" stuck at Sony Logo (Text only) and usb connection was permanent. Now it looks like its rebooting every ~20 sec logo disappears and appers a few secs later. The USB Connection is only present for about 1-2sec then it disconnects again.
Fastboot & Flash mode work.
CWM was installed (dunno if the IMG overwrote it.)
Somebody an idea how to get it running again?
Any Help is appreciated

You dont need root to fastboot. Just flash a kernel or install the orginal frimware
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

Okay....
i dont know WHY but i was able to flash the kernel now. dunno why it before always said error not rooted.
I'm flashing new rom now will edit in few minutes
a big THX to you

EDIT: Yea Phone is running again ! THX again !

I finally Made it ., it says PASS on my screen then i boot in to recovery do i need to install the A500-1.031.00-LIGHT-WITH_ICS_BOOTLOADER? or ist possible to go back restore to my back up? running HC 3.2.1 COM_GEN2? and recived official ICS UPDATE..... The thing is I cheated at first I installed COM_GEN1 ( 1.031 ww com_gen1) over my COM_GEN2...after that it upgrade automatically to ICS without connecting to my Wifi! And I thought it was not legit...

Not possible to go back to HC that easy , see in the guide I posted , there is a link to a thread on how to.
And you don't need to flash the light version A500 rom from the guide thread as you are already on the ICS bootloader because you flashed the ICS leak.
Just so you know that 1.031.00 leak is what Acer is pushing out as OTA so you are not missing any thing.
See this line of my guide:
You can also flash the full leaked version of 1.031.00 but then you need to get root so you can delete "recovery-from-boot.p" from /system before you flash the unlocked booloader and custom recovery.
If you feel insecure better to flash full leak that way you get the stock recovery.

civato as we are talking recovery's is it safe to just flash the ICS update as a update.zip with CWM still on the tab or should i replace it with the acer recovery first?

Thanks Civato,
I manage to go back to HC which I got a back-up file in my CMW in my SDCARD ....after I installed the boot thingy V3 I regain the CMW recovery...then I just fully restored to my HC 3.2.1 com_gen2. After that I still manage to retain the V3 thingy boot & CMW recovery... Also, i got the official OTA & I'm running ICS now . Thank you so much. xoxoxooxx

Help Helly Bean Stuck on Boot Cycle!

Hi Everyone
Got myself in a bit of a situation, Went to install the latest Helly Bean Rom Downloaded the file with the big button and put it on my external sd card, followed the step by step untill...
Install instructions:
coming from any other rom:
- make sure to have gingerbread bootloaders
- wipe data/factory reset
- flash allinone.zip
- reboot recovery
- flash allinone.zip again
- flash Helly_Bean_AddOn or Helly_Bean inverted AddOn ......here when i realized i hadn't got the file furthermore the file i have is named
helly_bean_initial.zip I couldn't find the other file and now my phone just bootloops.
Please give help me get the phone working again I don't know what to do and im panicking.

Download the files needed to your PC, than use CWM to copy them to your Phone in USB mounts and Storage , after that flash

Thankyou xsenman that sounds simple enough,:fingers-crossed:

Well that worked great its now installed and the new rom looks sweet.
Problem i have now is im getting "An invalid IMEI number could cause network issues including the inability to call" anyone seen this before ?
Just found this :
Everyone is having IMEI problems, here is how you fix it.
1) Get ES file explorer or root explorer
2)Look in sdcard/backup/efs
3)Copy nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log to /efs.
4) Reboot and enjoy!
Ill post back after gym if it works =D

That should work. Actually a friend of mine had similar issue with his phone but from what I know this solution helped him to get rid of the problem
Typed with my I9001

tryed the above fix with astro manager from recovery and after file copy and reboot i still get imei error.
thanks for the post ruthlessrat, its good to know someone else has tried the above fix and its worked for them maybe others who stuble across this thread may be able to use it although i can confirm it did not work for me.
I'm assuming my nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log were bad, I'm looking into a imei fix here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881162 Hopefully this will resolve the last issue.
Edit: Good news I've got another phone to cover me for a while so I can work on getting this phone set up
how i want it, I think i may need to return to a stock rom, will this restore the imei ?
Edit2 : Reinstalled Gapps from thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796675 this time its worked and Google play is now working fully so ive installed titanium backup and a few other applications that may come in use.
In the meantime alternate imei fixes and any advice would be useful on other cool features / functionality unique to JB. Thankyou to everyone again without the assistance it would have taken me allot further to get to this point.

Funny you should suggest that ive come across your thread, thanked, rated 5 and believe it should be newsworthy that thread could turn into a real noob's guide, I like it very much. I tried the first suggestion of copying the files , afraid it didn't work.
Second to that i tried this :http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JqLK_2I-SBM
but unfortunately my nv_data.bin is pure "FF" in the hex editor so I assume this is some kind of default setting? anyone know ?
I am now going to try..
you can start from the beginning.. go back to GB 2.36 (use a JVU ROM + Root, upgrade to ICS CM 9 and than to CM10
Solution for i9000 on JB:-Try not to jump from Gingerbread to Jellybean, as all upgrades should be done progressively. meaning you need to be on a GB 2.3.6> than into ICS and finally into JB.
I'm going to use GB 2.3.6 from sammobile.com
Can anyone recommend an ICS rom ?
following this I will flash Helly Bean latest nightly again.
Edit: Well Ive flashed back to 2.3.6 JVU & used the JVU CF - Root which works great, Ive backed up my rom and ets folder ready for jellybean the problem is when running through the installation ui it gets stuck on the final " Helly Bean installed" screen after making your software selections,
When I click next to finish it just hangs and the phone becomes completely unresponsive. at this point Ive removed battery and restarted but alas I'm still on cf rooted gingerbread. I don't understand why as it worked fine before.
Ive tried clearing both cache's and reset, this made no difference.
Ive also reinstalled stock rom, re flashed CF-Root & Tried again with no success.
I'm going to look into ICS roms and post back.

You do not need to rename anything dude, You should have installed a custom recovery if you flashed a rom already before, you go back to recovery, then go to the option to select zip from sdcard, find and select the file, that is it.
The android error screen you described is the stock recovery.
Also once you install one of the latest CWM recovery you can easily flash the bootloader.

how i can install recovery on original stock ????

This is from another thread HERE.....b4 u do anything GET YOUR CPUID - please ask if anything is not clear
You may need to root first so u can delete the file at step 2
1. get yr cpuid and save it multiple places open a file explorer and go to /sys/firmware/fuse/acer_cpuid
2. then go to /system and rename/delete the "recovery-from-boot.p" file - this will prevent your custom recovery being overwritten with the stock recovery.
3. have your custom rom on yr ext SD card, ready to flash ONCE you've flashed the unlocked bootloader
4.To flash the v8 bootloader you need to use nvFlash and there are a couple ways if going about that...
a) manually by using the guide in the OP of civato's BL thread
b) using one of the auto tools like afterOTA or apxFlash - links also in that same post...
c) you'll also get to pick a custom recovery and it will be flashed at the same time - cwm 1.7.3 is recommended until you're running stable
d) From yr cpuid - generate yr sbk - how to do that is in the same OP
5) once flashed, boot straight to recovery
6) Do a nandroid backup then the wipes
7) Flash the rom
8) Reboot to recovery and wipe again
9) Job Done!
notes:
Everything you need to do this is in civato's BL OP - sorry can't post the link but its stickied in the Dev Forum
[GUIDE]A500/501/G100W-Installing ICS V8 UNL-BL & CWM Or back to HC BL(24-6-2012)
the afterOTA tool,
- saves all yr uid details etc in a txt file
- flashes v3 bootloader -
- it also installs the needed drivers too
- its pretty good at what it does...
seems some are having wifi issues with jellytime but the dev is working on this
you've done the right thing by asking questions before attempting anything, wish everyone was like you...if my post isn't clear then please let me know....for those of us used to the way things work with our Acer, its hard to remember how difficult it seemed when we were new!!
good luck

thanks a million for your kind help ..
actually i am still unable to unlock my boot-loader .. and load recovery in order to flash a new ROM .. but still unable to unlock my boot-loader although i tried acer recovery to load another recovery but still unsuccessful .. i found that i can't delete the file you mentioned "recovery-from-boot.p" even i used root manager to delete it by force while it says deleted after requesting permission but i found nothing deleted the cursed file "recovery-from-boot.p" still there !!!
i am going crazy for weeks now i am just trying to unlock my boot loader in-order to flash another Rom .. but can't log into recovery always same dam android with the yellow triangle and now another curse with this file that can't be deleted !!!
just tell me how i can overcome that curse and go into recovery by any mean .. some guys tell me that i have to write some command in the lynx language to pass that war )
any advices !! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

your root is broke
It sounds like your 'root' is broke or you havent mounted system as writable in order to have any changes stick...so
download the zip file attached to this post...ICSRoot by blackthund3r
extract the files and run the .exe - once its done REBOOT your tab
I'm not sure of this root manager you spoke of...????
Most file explorers will have a setting that enables you to 'write' and make changes to the /system partition - so make sure this setting is enabled...Superuser should pop up and ask if you want to 'grant' your app 'permission' if you don't see this then:
check superuser app is installed on your tab,
You are on the Stock ICS bootloader you cannot use Acer Recovery Installer to install your recovery....you need the v8 first ok?
So root yr tab with ICS root, REBOOT and then run nvFlash to install your recovery/BL

still unable to install another recovery

oh dear...I'm sorry you're having so much trouble flashing a recovery...
a couple if things first -
1. everytime u update to a newer version then u WILL LOSE ROOT!
2. you cannot use the acer recovery installer on ics
3. wifi on stock ics is known for being problematic
4. flashing the unlocked bl/recovery Must be done in specific order if u don't follow the steps exactly it won't work
so, you can try a complete factory reset of yr tab by using the option in settings>backup and restore....u will lose all yr data and settings - but yr wifi should work....for awhile at least....
as far as flashing the unlocked bl goes - there s a guide in my sig how to
your other option is to rollback to HC using tdv4_rollback rom a link to that is also in the guide
,
im outta suggestions but wish u luck in getting itsorted

Your first hurdle to overcome is to delete that file you need to delete that file that causes the stock recovery to be restored. No point in doing anything beyond getting the files you need ready and getting the Acer drivers installed.
Are you using root explorer to delete that file? You need to click the button at the top that remounts the file system as r/w, by default the file system is mounted as r/o and will not allow you to make changes.
If that does not work, do me a favor: download this root check tool from the play store:
http://tinyurl.com/d6tj85a (Play Store link to root checker basic - free app)
That utility will check that the su binary is installed and that permissions are set. Give that tool a run and report back to us so we can get you running!

You do not need to delete "recovery-from-boot.ICSRootBackup.p" the root tool has renamed the boot.p file for you not sure why you cannot delete it though sounds strange!
Go take a look here at this guide and see if it helps any: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2049778
If you are using apxFlash tool go to the "Bundle Market" on the first screen and choose "Bundle No. 17" this is V8 bootloader with cwm 1.7.3 theres a good guide here showing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32905041&postcount=20

**HELP** Lenovo Tab 3 A8 (TB3-850M) Not booting even after flashing stock rom!

Hello
I have a Lenovo Tab 3 A8 (TB3-850M) that is bricked. I tried to reflash Stock ROM but it still doesn't boot.
When I do a Memory test everything is fine except
"NAND Flash not found"
"UFS Not Found"
I have read about these errors but I didn't get it working.
Hope to see your help soon!

I may be able to help if you answer the following:
Did the problem start with flashing stock ROM, or did you flash to try to fix existing problem? If preexisting, did it occur with normal use, or while doing any modding?
Did you possibly delete any critical partitions using sp flash tool? Eg, did you use format function?
Nb. I monitor the main TB3-850F threads where you previously posted, but won't know you've replied here unless you mention me or reply using my handle in quote. PW

Hello I actually found out that the device had a corrupt nand/emmc and I can't fix it. So I basicly party it out, sold the parts and threw the rest in the trash
