I have an Acer A500 and I was watching Netflix when the thing froze up, and blacked out, I turned it back on and it was stuck on the "Android" animation, so I forced it off and restarted it and now it's stuck on the Acer logo, I've tried clearing data and cache, I've tried the SD card restore with several update.zip's found online, I've tried removing the SD card, and plugging it into the PC where a thing called "FastBoot" pops up (not sure what that's for) and now I'm just waiting for the battery to run dry to see if that might do it. I'm an absolute n00b so please be descriptive or I won't know what you're saying.

I recently bought a vega for someone as a christmas present, installed modded stock v2. rebooted into recovery, wiped data, davlik cache and cache partition. Then installed vegacomb 9n and the update 3 and rebooted.
All seemed fine and vegacomb was working. Rebooted the vega and it gets stuck on stale boot (backlight on but blank screen). turned it off (held power button for about 6 seconds) and back on again and still stuck with backlight on but blank screen.
I don't want to have to keep reinstalling it every time I turn it off, and the person I bought it for would obviously like to use it.
Any ideas?
there is a lot of this happening with this honeycomb 3.2 roms. i think its something not right wiht the boot loader. some tablets display the usb boot loader message some just show a blank screen. either way the only way to fix it is to reflash it again.
this happened to me and i just went back to stock 2.2 firmware. its not pretty but it works and is reliable enough to leave with the wife without any complaints that its not working.
My acer tablet suddenly froze while streaming some youtube vids so i decided to reboot it. Upon reboot it went past the logo and was stuck on the android flashy screen so i rebooted it again and now its stuck on the Acer logo. I tried a soft reset with a pin and no results. I did the volume+rocker and it booted when empty cache booting external kernel image text. It proceeded to an android with moving gears then it went to an android with a red triangle with exclamation mark. My acer does not have an sd card attached and it is rooted on icecream sandwich. It has no custom rom. Is my tab beyond repair or could i possible flash a firmware with an sd card. I currently do not own an sd card but will be willingly to get one if it will fix my tab. This tablet is a refurb thats been working for 16 months and this is the first this happened. I hope its not a motherboard failure.
I have the same problem. Is there any help out there? A500 stuck on Acer splash screen. Android with spining gear and then dies with read triangle.

Hello, one week ago I received the Axon 7 mini from Gearbest, since then I haven't used it that much, but yesterday while watching a youtube video it turned off suddenly and when I tried to turn it on it just gotted stuck in the zte logo. After several tries, and trying of wiping the data and doing the factory reset (what gave error messages such as "can't mount"...), I decided to update it to from the sd card using firmware of the russian zte. After that the phone could pass the zte logo and start the configuration screen slowly, but started to rebooting, it took me several trys till I could finish the set up, but the problem was still, then I tried to do the factory reset as well as data wipe now succesfully, but the rebooting and slowness still there, so I can't do anything because I can't finish the setup correctly, and even the only way to turn off the phone without the boot loop is inside the menu of android recovery. I hope you can help me, thanks.
Howdy, all! This is my first post on XDA, and it comes after days of frustration. I'm relatively new to the back-end of phones, especially android. What happened is this:
About 4 or 5 days ago, I woke up to my phone completely dead, despite being plugged in. I tried turning it on, and got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S7" screen for a while, and then finally a blue screen with the android logo saying "Installing update." That process seemed to end rather abruptly and then went back to the first loading screen, followed by a black screen, then "Samsung," and repeat. At this point I tried plugging the phone in to see if smart switch would detect it... and this is where my ineptitude with phones starts to show.
I didn't realize that smart switch has an emergency recovery mode under "file," (*sigh*) so when my phone didn't show up on the main screen I assumed the worst. After some google-searches, I went in to clear the cache through Android Recovery. I was still trying to save my data at this point, so I didn't just erase everything and start fresh. I regret that now.
After clearing the cache, I rebooted the system through the menu, and was stuck in loop with the first screen being all black, except for some blue text in the upper left hand corner saying, "Recovery booting." The screen would then flash back to a blue screen with the android logo and "Installing system update," and then go black and repeat the whole process. Getting back into the recovery menu was sporadic after this, but was possible occasionally. This is where my ineptitude REALLY starts to show...
Despite having my current rom version displayed to me multiple times on the recovery menu, I neglected to write it down or record it in any way. Instead, I googled "SM-G935A stock firmware," and was able to find a presumably helpful link on these forums guiding me on flashing stock oreo files through Odin. I say presumably, because in the hands of someone who actually has knowledge on this subject, the thread was incredibly helpful. In my hands, however, it seemed to create a monster. I flashed the stock files downloaded from the link, and all looked good- Odin gave a solid pass, and the phone rebooted to the normal initial two loading screens. And then disaster- another boot loop. But this time, I have no idea what firmware used to be on my phone before I started fooling around.
At this point, I've had one near success with a flash of SM-G935AUCS8CRK1 through Odin where I actually got a blue LED indicator for the first time, as well as the AT&T logo and chime. Now, however, it seems that I either get stuck in that loop, or back to the original "Recovery Booting," "Installing Update," loop.
The phone is not rooted. I don't have a custom recovery installed, and I'm not even sure if I ever got around to enabling developer mode through the OS settings.
ANY help is appreciated. I'm pretty sure I've made the problem significantly worse than it was originally, but I've at least learned a lot in the process- hopefully I won't mess things up this badly in the future! Thanks for taking the time to read through this mess!
Hello!
I am not a completely tech savvy person so I thought that I would post a thread to see if anybody knew anything and to see if anybody could help before I officially put my previous phone to rest. If anybody has feedback that is appreciated, thanks in advance!
I tried opening Google Chrome but that did not open so I tried the built in browser and that did not open as well, both of them immediately closed after so I thought restarting it would fix the problem but it did not when I turned it on it went to the carrier logo and stayed there (If I recall correctly) so I took the battery out and put it back in to try and fix that problem, that did not work. So I tried booting it into the only menu I could get into and did the factory reset, it went to the Green Android robot and it did the reset, after I restarted it, it went to the carrier logo and the brand logo but it just goes to the brand logo and keeps going to that and in the corner it says "790 Secure Booting Error! Error Code : 1006" and now it does not charge when I plug it in, when I plug it in all it does is the bootloop. Because the phone will not power on and go to the home screen, my computer does not recognize it.
I want to fix the phone to get it back to the home screen and make it stop doing that and to use the phone on WiFi! If you all have questions, just let me know.
