[Q] Lenovo Thinkpad tablet won't boot

My tablet was stuck on the blinking Lenovo logo and I took the following steps -
Shut down TPT by pressing and holding the power button
Pressed and hld the power button until the TPT vibrated
Kept pressing and releasing the volume up button until "Booting Recovery Kernel Image" appeared in the upper left corner.
A long list (in yellow) detailed E: failures to open, mount various things followed
Scrolled to wipe data/factory reset/ delete all user data.
Followed prompt to reboot system now
Tablet vibrated, static lenovo logo appeared and then nothing further happened.
I'd appreciate advice and or counselling as this is the third time I've had a similar problem!

I think that i bricked my phone, help please!

I was using CM 13, and flashed "twrp-0.8.9.5-d802-bump-blastagator-signed.zip" over 2.8.7.3 for my LG G2 D802, then I rebooted into recovery, got new theme and all those stuff as 0.8.9.5 should have. Everything was OK, but right after flashed "bootstack-d802-LP_30d-Bump-signed" for install Cloudy G3 3.3, my phone turns off, so i decided to enter in recovery mode again. Got this: "Permanently Erase User Data & Reset Settings? Press Power key to confirm, and any other key to cancel". So I pressed power button and this message came "Are you sure you want to continue with erase? Press Power key to confirm, and any other key to cancel". Pressed power again and "Facory reset processing..." message appears for a second, then my screen turned black (not off, just black). Now i can't boot into recovery, just download mode, but can't install firmware via kdz because flash tool stuck at 2%. What should I do to fix this? Please help!
PS: Sorry for my bad english.
Edit: When I try to enter in recovery mode (failing into that black screen) and connects phone to my pc through usb, pops up multiple windows asking to format all my "corrupted mobile partitions" (screenshot: i.imgur.com/gMX2f7u.png).

stock recovery missing

Hello everyone. Nice to be here first of all.
Here's some trouble I faced, I'll try to describe it.
I downloaded the official firmware update from the device's menu. (Galaxy Tab 4.7.0 3G)
I followed the system command to reboot. The device restarts. Now, after Samsung logo, "installing update..." screen appears with the green robot. As it supposed.
While the process, the error appears :
E:Error in / cash/ fota/update.zip (status 7)... and it goes on and on.
With the three button combination, "power-volume down-home", I can still enter the download mode, but can't enter the recovery mode for hard reset.
There's another little nuance :
While on "installing system update" screen, I press the "home" button, and see short yellow sentence among others: "unpacking new recovery" Is this why I can't enter stock recovery? Is this all connected somehow?
An what I need to do?
Thank you.

Note 8 with boot loop and no access to bootloader

Hi, big problem with my note.
Unlocked with custom rom today starts going in bootloop with warning screen about this is not the original rom. So I shut down the phone and after a bit I connect it to the power ac and the phone starts to boot loop with logo honor heavenly background. I cannot enter in bootloader pressing the right buttons.
Is it bricked? There's anything I can do? Please help me and sorry for my english.
Thanks.

Hi @rolling_bonzy
you can try to enter erecovery and let it install the latest version of stockrom.
to do this, connect your device to your computer with usb, then hold powerbutton as long as it needs to restart, then keep holding "vol+" until on the screen "your device has been blablabla not trusted" and the message shows up "your device is booting now..." - wait a while and you land in the Huawei eRecovery, where you can "Download latest version and recovery" ... do that
perhaps it is needed a second time after that for doing a factory reset in the same menu
let us know if it worked, cheers =)

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately no succes. But I notice that if I press "vol -" it stops to boot loop and the screen is black. If I release the button restart flashing.

and does it flash or only wants to?
perhaps you have a chance if you create a 'dload'-folder on your sdcard and therein copy this file (for example): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3130/g1699/v168765/f1/full/update.zip (i have it from the topmost entry from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=EDI-AL10&firmware_page=0 -> click on 'filelist')
After that, connect your device with usb on the computer, restart and keep holding vol+ and vol-
keep us updated

Hard Bricked/Soft Bricked? SM-T385| Need Help

Recently I have updated the firmware to 8.1. by using Odin successfully. However, the Internal Storage was reduced to the half only. In trying to fix this, I reflashed it with 'Nand-Erase' option checked (stupidly!). Then everything gone wrong.
- Bootloop (Struck on SAMSUNG logo)
- No recovery
I reflashed without checking 'Nand-Erase' but still not working, bootloop.
Then I installed/flashed TWRP from Odin again. It was successful, but very sadly I can't do anything:
- Unable to restore backup
- No Factory Reset/Wiping Date, Cache etc.
- No Power off
- Unable to Mount
- Internal Storage show 0MB.
Have you ever faced this problem? Can any one help me please. I am really in need of your suggestion and advice.

SOLVED!
After browsing through lots of pages, I found a solution which works for me. Even though my problem has been solved, I will just put the solution here, in case anyone may face the same problem with me. Follow the Steps below...
Reboot into Recovery (Press volume up, home and power button at same time)
Phone will reboot, leave power button but keep holding other 2 buttons.
After you see android/system update installing screen, leave these 2 buttons
Wait for few seconds and phone will show 'no command' then press volume button 3/4times and system recovery will open
with volume keys go to "wipe cache" and press power key.
after that select "wipe data/reset" and press power key.
after that select reboot phone and press power key
now phone will go to Samsung logo screen and you may think that it is again stuck in bootloop
But no, wait for some time->for me it was less than 4-5 min
and you will see the installing apps and other messages on screen
DONE!
Be Happy

Very considerate for you to post that info up for others. Thank you.
