Hi
I just got iconia a500 but it won't boot. When i press power button, the button lights white but the screen stays black, and after a second or two it just vibrates and the power button lights turns off.
I tried to do the hard reset but it doesn't work.
I tried to enter apx mode, but when i hold power and reset buttons the computer recognizes it and as i release the buttons it disconnects from pc.
No matter whad i do, the screen is black...
Is there something else i can do? I bought it used from cowboom and i didn't test it, now i can't return it because the 15 days has passed :crying:
Tnx

Have you tried connecting from different USB ports? I've heard people struggle with front facing USB ports due to their low power? Anyways, try the ones directly connected to your motherboard.

You shouldn't be connected to the pc while entering apx mode. Enter apx first then connect.
As for being stuck on the black screen...There are hundreds of threads regarding this.
Read the cpuid guide and the root guide in my sig, post there if u need further help

Ok, i will try and post the results
Tnx
I have installed drives, tried other usb ports but it's the same.
A500manager detects the tablet and after second i hear the sound like when you disconnect the device.
The problem is that it won't stay in apx mode.

Hello,
my Galaxy Tab won't boot anymore, it's stuck at the "Galaxy Tab"/"Samsung" screen. I can't get to it with adb either. When I connect it to USB or to a power jack it shows a battery symbol, but nothing happens (no animation that the battery charges).
I had this earlier but after some button combinations like pressing the menu button and holding the power button it booted. Then after a day it freezed and since then I can't boot it anymore.
There are several instructions how to reset the device, like different combinations of holding buttons or even touch the screen while booting. Nothing works. What can I do?

Do to my flashing antics I have had this as well. I'm on ROTO JME v4 now.
Have you tryed connecting it to the PC and just hit the Volume button?
Sometimes I have to connect and then reconnect to the USB on the PC as well when it is bootlooping.
To get mine into DL mode now I don't need to hit power and Volume, just volume I saw the battery thing as well.

I'm not sure what you mean. If I connect the Tab to the PC it instantly shows the non animatied battery symbol. Whatever button I press, nothing happens.
Hello everyone
I have a serious problem here, was about to give up on the phone but there seems to be some hope out of this mess.
Okay, I was doing a task 29 through HSPL4.exe when it stuck up at 24% and gave Rom update error, (details read something like there has been a communication error etc.). The phone screen showed the Rom update failure screen , when I reset the phone it doesn't power up at all. No bootloader, no vibrations or LEDs, nothing.
Only, when I press the red (end call/ power) button and then press volume up for some time, the phone vibrates twice and the green LED lights up, thats it, the screen remains blank.. When I connect it to USB, my PC detects it, but asks for a driver that I don't seem to have, although I do have Activesync installed (i'm using XP).
Please somebody, get me out of this mess, I'd be so grateful.. Thank you.
Did you try booting into that one screen, forgot its name
....the rainbow screen
do u have hd2 toolkit? btw...if you can get into your bootloader there is definitly hope. long live hd2!!!!!!
I am having the same issue however mine came about when my hd2 got wet after that all it does is vibrate once and nothing happens the LED comes up for like a sec and nothing else happens...
Yeah, it doesn't go to the bootloader when I press the vol down button. But it is detected by my computer when I connect it to USB, isn't there a way it could be recovered thru there somehow?
okay so i left my phone sitting for a while and now it vibrates the bottom buttons turn on when i touch them and the led is in orange and my computer recognizes it too but no display at all....
Hy i have HTC Wildfire not rooted or flashed.Today i accidently dropped it on the floor and it turned off when i tried to power it on it vibrated once and looked like its still shut down.Tried Volume up and power on LED turns green phone vibrates 3 times and nothing looks like its shut down just led is still green
when i use volume down and power it vibrates and does nothing.First i suspected screen broke but then once only once out of 100 times i managed to get it in that volume down+power menu but it didn't react to anything so i took battery out and tried it again and i could never get into that menu agian.Is there a way to save my phone cuz its out of warranty its quite old

Try connecting your phone to your computer and sending adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader through cmd with the drivers installed.
sounds like your device has managed to get into qualcomm diagnostic mode. not sure how to get out of it but use the search bar and see what you can come up with. good luck
This might help, but download different Wildfire-specific firmware, not the one mentioned in the post. I'll have a look to see what they want.
Hello all,
My mother got an a500 about seven months ago and the other day she put it to charge and the next day it wouldn't turn on at all, just a black screen. When the charger is plugged in, the power button glows white. Take it off charge and the light goes out and that's all it will do.
I have tried searching through multiple forums and I have tried all the solutions I have found. I tried pressing the reset button near the usb plug, I tried a hard reset by holding the power and volume + buttons multiple ways, i.e. I held them both for thirty seconds, held the vol button and pressed power for three seconds and about every other iteration I could find. Nothing happened not even a vibration like from what I've read it is supposed to do. I downloaded the update.acer.zip file and put it on an sd card and tried flashing it by holding the power and vol - buttons, still nothing.
The tab has not been moded in any way, however, God only knows what apps my mother way have downloaded to it...
I am at my wits end and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a noob so it wouldn't surprise me if I am not doing the flashing right or if I have the wrong files, all the links I found on the forums were non functional and I had to download it from filecorp.com.
Thanks in advance!

The white light when plugged to the charger just indicates it's fully charged.
Test 1. Press and hold the PWR button for 7 seconds, release, wait a couple seconds to see if it responds, then press and hold for another 7 seconds. See if it responds.This is to check if the tab is in Sleep of Death (SOD)
Test 2. Using a paper clip, press and hold the pinhole reset (near USB) and then press and hold PWR. After 4 seconds release PWR, 1 second later release pinhole. See if is vibrates and goes into APX mode, (tab should vibrate once with a black screen and white PWR button) if it does, press and hold PWR only for a few seconds. Wait a couple seconds, then PWR on tab by holding PWR about 6 or 7 seconds.
Test 2 is just to see if the tab responds to anything,
If you can't get any response from the above, then it's best to turn it in for repair.

@Moscow Desire: he pressed the reset button already so it is probably not SoD. Unless SoD makes reset button unresponsive too.
My tab does not vibrate when entering APX mode at all. Only the white power button LED turns on and the screen stays off.
@Core645: try this at first
- disconnect charger so the LED turns off
- hold power button for about 5 seconds
If the power button LED turns white and nothing else is happening then your tab is stuck in APX mode. You can confirm this by connecting micro USB cable from your PC. If you have windows it'll ask for drivers for Nvidia Download Mode or something like that.
Then check what Moscow Desire suggests with the reset button. I only ask you do my check at first because by holding reset you would achieve the same result and you wouldn't know if it is stuck in APX or you just forced it to APX by holding reset button.
Hello guys,
Hope someone is able to help here.
I got Yotaphone 2 YD206 to my hands. It has problem with front screen staying always black. Rear screen says "Turn over the phone to set up". Cannot do it as front screen is always black.
Volume buttons work and power too. Also the phone rings if someone calls me. I can shut down long-pressing power button but device always restarts. I cannot enter download neither recovery mode. Power + VOL down or power + VOL up always reboots the device back to "Turn over the phone set up" -screen (text in rear screen).
I have flasher and Lollipop firmware files. But flasher says <waiting for device>. For me it seems issue with drivers. I have tried several usb drivers (WIN10 laptop) but still no luck. ADB devices command doesn't show any devices connected.
Any ideas? I believe someone might have a trick I have tried yet.
Thanks in advance!
Edit. After fighting hours and hours with flashing I decided to open the phone and found it was just simple hardware issue. LCD flex was disconnected...put it back and phone is alive.
