hello everyone ,
my Iconia A500 , just broke down or i don't know exactly what's wrong with it ,
it's rooted stock -ICS-4.0.3 , 6 months ago
and the last thing happened in the past 3-4 days :
1- "Air Playit" was downloaded 2 days ago
2- reading news /Facebook/messenger , occasional games
3- opera browsing
that's it , no physical impacts , nothing abnormal else
now for no reasons , the tablet shut down ..
and stuck on "Android" logo ...and never past that for an hour , then it shut down
any help please with "preserving data"?
I would connect Micro USB cable to PC and device...
and see if PC recognizes device...then if you can see it in ADB or APX mode..
at least you can modify stuff with PC recognizing it..
Maybe take out External SDCARD and click it back in.
try to boot into recovery mode
mess with it when power cord is plugged into it and NOT plugged in
*** IF you are ever are able to enter into a RECOVERY mode, I'd wipe Cache + Dalvik (so it can refresh files and apps) (it doesn't erase anything, settings, apps, etc)
hope you have your CPUID #
Dought this is very helpful, APX mode saved me after my tablet was bricked for 2 months

things been done till now :
1- CPUID extraction
(1) From a PC using Blackthund3rs A500 manager
not readable
(2) From your device using Terminal Emulator App
not accessible
(3) From USBDeview must have previously used the Tab under HC with the PC you're using
only 11 digits were founds under the exact given criteria
(4) From a uid.txt in any Honeycomb-cwm backup in external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/"your_HC_backup" folder
not available
(5) From adb devices if you're running honeycomb
not available
(6) From cwm 1.7.2 via on screen display and a text file - great if you are on ICS already
not accessible
(7) From a working system in /sys/firmware/fuse/acer_cpuid
?!!?
** USB doesn't recognize the device , tried multiple ports , USB 2 , 2.1 and 3 (USB driver installed)

Well I wish that I could help in a way that would let you preserve your data. Hate saying it. It is probably lost. The 'save my data' prerequisite is probably why there are no answers to this point. I won't say that it is impossible, just highly unlikely. Sorry.
So if you get tired of waiting for an answer for that and just want to get your tab up and running I would humbly suggest that you consider these...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624645
Tons of great information and the support from the OP is legendary.
I think that you will end up at this page...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751978
This one is not an easy read or an easy process for those who lack Linux experience. But with a little patience you should be fine. Just be sure to read through the first few pages. There's a decent amount of information in that single thread, and not all of it is in the first post.
Once you get through those two threads you will, without a doubt, be able to continue with restoring your tablets software to something useable.
Good Luck.

I'm in the same boat. The same thing happened to me two days ago. Stock ICS + root are the only mods I've done.
I'm going to finish reading through to see if anything worked. :/
---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------
In my case, I'm not so interested in preserving any data as I had already relocated everything important to GDrive and my external SD card.
First attempt, I tried booting into recovery which, I'm guessing, tried to grab an update.zip from the SD card that wasn't there. When nothing was found it proceeded to a green android boot screen and then quickly changed to a dead android with a hazard symbol on it. The boot bar below the logo crept slowly for several minutes and then stopped and hung for about an hour until I gave up.
Any quick ways to get me back to a stock blank rom?
ok , i think i'll let go for the data ... although it's VERY annoying -_- considering i did never lose any data since 1990 with dos / windows / symbian , i'm very disappointed with my first experience with Android and Acer ..
anyway here is my thoughts ,
1- first i tried All possible ways for extracting the CPUID in many forums .... except the "Ubentu" one ...which i'll give it a try soon after my surgery exam
2- another VERY annoying point honestly , it's the "inconsistency" ....
i mean , when i pressed the reset , it stopped showing me the "android-logo" , then after couple of resets , it started to show it AGAIN !!
then , doing hard reset (+vol + pwr + the or.lock) and confirmed erasing data and cache , the "android-logo" disappeared , and only ACER !!!
another , one normal reset , and it appeared again !!
ok ok ... let's forget this
i tried all 7 Stock ROMs ...
each SINGLE ROM , gave me at least 2-3 different responses !!
- the loading bar alone
- the robot with rotating thing , no loading bars
- the dead robot , no loading bar
- the robot with rotating crystal , with loading bar which get stuck at 25%-30%
- the dead robot , with loading bar which get stuck at around 20%
- Nothingness !! ( yes , it boot up from update.zip , then nothing happen)
*each trial , i gave it at least 20 min to progress up ... but with no use
anyway ,
3- i'll try again last time extracting CPUID , so i can install EUU ROMs .... but anyway ...
guys , does anyone know any relation between the S/N of the machine and the CPUID ?
just trying to think alittle bit differently , maybe , the S/N is 22 units long , so maybe there is a relation between them ?
4- if all failed , i think i'll have to wait till i get to dubai soon , because no service center in my country -_- !!
5- last resort , i'll use it as cutting table in my kitchen -_-
please guys ... help
IDEAS !!
i know you said the drivers are installed but I'm not sure they are....but try this
put your tab in manual apx mode and hook up to your pc - if theres an apx device listed then run afterOTA Lite version to get your cpuid that way...there is no relationship between the serial no and the cpuid...if nothing else works the only answer is Linux, as all the others have said
ok here what i have done ...
installed Ubuntu 12.10 ... done
installed all developer packages ...done
extracting the UID ... 0x3806148417f4317 ... done
double check ...the same result ...done
trying to convert to SBK ... FAIL
adding extra -as advised- "0" so the UID become ... 0x03806148417f4317 ...done
converting to SBK ... done
back to windows 7 ...done
trying to make "A 500 manger" or "A500 APX" detect the tablet ...fail
windows detection to APX .. done
retry "A500 manger or APX" ...fail
downgrading from "acer USB drive" 1.06 to 1.00 ....done
trying "A500 manger or APX" ...done
on "A500 APX" ... chose package 13 , put the SBK , APX detected , the tablet show "Acer" in green color with "Acer Iconia APX Mode" ... (finally something different)
"A500 APX" asks me if i saw the new "APX mode" ... yes
and then
it continued in all steps with success
till reaching " Exiting the bootloader..."
and it hangs for 30 min on that stage with no respond not what so ever !!! -_-
any ideas , guys ?? :fingers-crossed:

now that's where i reached ....
and nothing happens after that
i flashed this bundle :
Bundle 13: A500 ICS BL v7 / Thor Recovery 1.7
ICS Unlocked / Skrilax Bootloader v7 and Thor Touch Recovery 1.7 (Legacy version for those with issues with 1.7.3) for the A500
using the "APX a500 flash utility" ...
then i ended up with this screen (see the attached image)
and can't pass it at all
trying SD card update.zip ...failed
trying secondary kernel ...failed
trying hard reset ...failed
so ??
ok ... back on track .... UP and RUNNING

Hello! What did you do in the end? I have something not exactly the same, but a similar situation to yours. Your final solution could be my salvation too...... :crying:
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards.
The tool he used flashes a custom recovery as well as the unlocked boot loader..for some reason the recover.img got corrupted...u must use the ones that come with the tool and use the tool to install it. Once u have the unlocked boot loader you're able to use a flash able zip to change it if u want.
So to answer yr question just reflash again. Choosing the bundle market option select bundle 17 its the latest version and seems most stable.
The window in the s/shot is fast boot menu, power volume up. Wiping cache helps if you are stuck on Acer boot logo

First view ? Never used XFSTK downloader ?
(fast forward to 18:30 mins in for settings to be modified in XFSTK re... changing GP over ride to 0x80000807 ) Then follow process from the beginning of the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmbRaJijIBs&feature=youtu.be
isoc driver( install this first on its own )
http://www.mediafire.com/file/qhss2kw3vw8uq19/iSocUSB-Driver_v1.2.0.exe
Files for downloader 551 ONLY !!!
http://www.mediafire.com/file/xd8vll7ep644hyo/droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign.zip
Downloader (isoc driver needs installing before this, if opens up blank - isoc driver isnt installed correctly)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/qalvtzrm7n2fchp/xfstk-downloader_v1.7.0.exe
Flashtool(install this once you get success at temp bootloader screen after 4 colours)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/sm76jyyz8t1axmz/AsusFlashToolInstaller_1.0.0.17.rar
Raw files to be flashed in flashtool can be found here on XDA thanks go to RealYoti here >
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/z008-z00a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966
**********EDIT**********
AS YOU MAYBE AWARE , RAW FILES FOR 551 Z00A M ARE NOW AVAILABLE BY REALYOTI ABOVE.
So >
If you bricked in M somehow , extract .184 M stock fw from ASUS itself .
Extract IFWI file and in put the IFWI into xFSTK ...leave dnx fwr and posignbin the same:good:
When you get to bootloader after flashing in xFSTK . Your IFWI version should be >
0094.0183 for M
Then flash 4.21.40.184 M raw file in AFT Provided above .
Note. , if serial number is incorrect , you have to 2 part flash raw in AFT like the video.
If serial is correct , flash raw ONCE only in AFT.

I'm taking a wild guess here
That you didn't really get success in xfstk but your phone booted to fastboot and you think you had success but have boot loader for 6.0 and are trying to flash raw for. 5.0
What is the boot loader version 0094 ? ? ? ?

People struggling still with this method-- yet i have used it over a hundred times without fail.
Please dont send pm`s because i dont think you get my replies for some reason !
If you are still having probs ....re-download your files required.
Use a good quality usb data cable(one i used which worked perfectly all the time, wouldnt work in xfstk)
Do - extract all files offline with A/V disabled.
People with flat batts --
leave your fone alone and off ,let battery build a bit to kickstart enough to get thru the next phase...
Flash xfstk with(4x0`s) 0x80000807 in CRC box ... get your bootloader fastboot quick then power off via bootloader and charge fone for a few hrs....then let cool before reflashing in XFSTK with settings(5x0`s) 0x800000807
Doesnt matter if it says fails operating system ,aslong as success in ifwi and fwr dnx--- you will be back in bootloader by then
Then let fone stay connected to pc for 10mins atleast before closing XFSTK.
Close Xfstk after 10 mins and flash raw.
Follow vid re.. correcting serial number when fone pauses for approx 3 mins after flashing some cmds, when it stays on result=ok for 3 mins.
Unbrick my ZF2 with thousand of lines...lol
hi timbernot....i hv a problem probly u know of.
resently i bricked my ZF2 at usb mode that is after i upgrade to new software by asus.but forgoten that i've rooted my ZF2 with king root apps.then i found yr method from youtube..well i give it a try with xFSTK.somehow after fullfill the requirement needed i almost score the goal..but!my ZF2 end up with line's on my ZF2 screen.i did saw the bootloader screen for 2 second that everything became shattered.
Xfstk gives you bootloader
Once in bootloader you flash raw
You dont try to boot into system-- you let raw finish and boot into system on its own ,like the vid
The grey screen if thats what you mean with black lines (shattered look) is splashscreen in wrong format of 6.0 /on 5.0
Flash in Xfstk again(correctly)
Follow the vid !
my phone is z008
i use xfstk with 550 file =====> my phone no vibrate . no anything.
and with 551 file =====> my phone virate and blank screen @@
how howwwwwwwwww
Could you mirror the raw file in google drive? the original source is very slow to download

It could be as simple as removing the cable from computer and putting in another usb port.
Mine was at 123456789ABCDEF (and then the Asus Flash Tool does not work) and I did this and the correct serial was shown allowing me to use Asus Flash Tool and unbrick my phone.
its perfectly normal for the first part to have 0-9 serial - restore it by pressing Vol + , when commands on phone stays on `RESULT=OK` for approx 3mins -- Then you force close asus flash tool and restart it and serial will be corrected.
The title of the thread gives us the clue that this will correc t serial number
The vid shows exactly when to initiate.
pay atention in the video from -14.00
dude, please help.
in your video i dit it right at minute 3:18, after never show me the bootloader. The phone restart and the 4 colour appear again.

hi guys this is my first post about le pro 3 phone ( x720 )
Before more than one year i was install custom rom ( panaroid android rom ) and it is the best for me iam installed it via official TWRP and rooted it . but suddenly has loop and i cannot open anything just fastboot screen and when i charging it just i see red light , i tried to flash Qfile via flashone 2.0 tool ( i am installed all drivers needed ), flashed is successful but the problem loop is continue , after that iam going to local market ( in iraq ) they didn't have maintenance for leeco phone but i asked him to remove battery and return it , after doing so, he charged the phone, showed the charge rate and battery, became the battery percentage 55 % and I turned it on, but the problem continued , i flashed qfile again but nothing happened , I left the phone for months, then I gave it to a friend from China where we work together in the same company in Iraq, he took the phone to a maintenance center in China and they repaired it ( they find hardware problem and the replaced element or some thing like that ), My friend gave me the phone works with emui 5.8 and he buy spare battery and he told me that no need to replace battery as maintenance center say , after that just i install twrp and flash emui 6.0.0.30 and make root for it , the phone work fine for one month but also suddenly the system freeze and reboot loop , i tried to inter recovery but the screen black and white lines appeared as in previous problem .
what should i do dear friends
No body here ?
