[Q] A500 is bricked like nothing else

I have two A500s and have rooted and flashed them both successfully.
One day my main tab, the other is for the family, was working then it just stopped. It would boot to the "Acer" logo and go no further. I left it like that all night with no result.
So, I figure that I'll just flash a new rom to fix it. I tried 6 or 8 different roms; all booted only partially like before. I did a factory reset, flipping the screen lock back and forth. Still would only boot part way and hold. I continued to look for different roms (what do they say when you keep trying the same thing expecting different results?).
Now the tab doesn't seem to come on at all; that is the screen stays dark. The light on the power button comes on and I can turn it off by holding for 10 seconds and turn it on again. I connected to my PC and it requested a driver which I installed. the PC makes the "new hardware" sound but I don't find it in "My Computer".
I have tried to access it via “adb devices”, but no devices are detected.
This is the extent of my efforts and knowledge. If anyone is able to help please email me at [email protected]. I have been reading the blogs and am posting this to several blogs so I might not find your answer if it is to the blog only.
Btw,
I did find a post that describes something like this on an A200 at this blog:
http://www.acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-iconia-a200-help/5895-solved-my-a200-wont-turn.html
I'm tempted to attempt it if I don't find an answer specific to the A500.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP!!!
==================================================
edit: I tried the A200 solution to no affect.
bricked a500
I have the exact same issue, does not go past acer logo screen and Win 7 does not show the device when connected. I can hear the sound when you plug the usb cable but nothing visible or no icon on the screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

[Q] LG G2 D802 Trouble. Black Screen. No Recovery/Download Mode

Hello together!
I just got my new LG G2 D802 32gb today and wanted cyanogen on it. Well it was already rooted by the pre-owner so i just installed TWRP BUT I made the mistake to install it for D801 instead of D802. (Too hasty )
Well when the phone rebooted after the installation it stucked in fastboot and I was starting to freak out. I was searching for a solution but I just came from Apple to Android so its all kind of new. I saw this post and tried it.
reddit.com/r/lgg2/comments/1soiyj/stuck_in_fastboot_mode_need_help/
I erased the data as described. Worked just fine. Then I tried to flash the new data but it didnt work and after a while I restarted the phone (Why not I thought, usually always helps)
Well now the screen is, and stays, black. And it wont Turn on. No matter how long I press the Power Button. Also I cant access the Download nor the recovery mode. So I cant restock. When I connect the phone to my laptop it shows a crapload of drives on my laptop. From E to S everything. 15 Local Disks overall. Well just one of them is accessable. E:. On the drive is one single folder: Images. But its secured so I cant add anything to it (I hoped I could add the Images I just erased eralier manually). 63.9MB is its capacity.
Neither fastboot nor ADB can access the the phone now.
Pressing the Power Button of the phone while connected reconnects it to the computer.
I dont know what to do I am completely helpless :crying:
I appreciate every help!
Thanks!

Thats the stock Firmware. You must flash it with TWRP
Make a Full wipe and then Install the zip File.
i cant even do anything, i cant access bootloader. i getting always "No Signal" when nvidia shield turned on

Screen Mirroring does not work

Hi.
I have the latest original firmware on my SM-T530 and screen mirroring does not work at all. I´ve tried two different methods:
1. Mirror the screen to a Amazon Fire TV Stick. The SM-T530 finds the Fire TV Stick, but a few seconds after I connect the devices, the Fire TV Stick says that the mirroring has been stopped (I can never see the screen of the SM-530 on the stick).
2. Using Screen Stream Mirroring App. I've also tried to mirror the screen bei using my Enigma2 Set Top Box. The mirror is available throgh rtsp. But the TV-Screen stays black.
Other devices (Honor 7, Ascend P6 Omni Rom, S3 Mini CM 11) work perfectly with both methods so I guess it's a problem with the SM-T530 firmware.
Is this a known issue of the firmware?
If not, could someone be so kind and test the screen mirroring with a Fire TV Stick?
If I'm the only one with this Problem, is it possible that I've unistalled a service (app) that is needet for screen mirroring? I've used Kingroot and uninstalled some Samsung and Google Stuff... So if It works on other SM-T530-Devices, I would flash the stock rom again but I don't want to do this if doesn't work anyway... If somebody else confirms this problem, I would contact the Samsung Customer Service.
Thank you for your help!
I´ve switched to DU. Will not flash stock firmware again so the Bug doesn´t matter anymore for me.

Factory Reset my Android TV with nothing !

I have an Android TV and I wanted to disable its launcher. Because I wanted to install my own launcher !
So I connected to it via ADB and made some changes.
Then the TV software crashed and when I restart the TV, I just see the first welcome screen of TV and nothing happens after that.
I think I need to factory reset the TV and I have nothing to do that.
My TV brand is UNEVA.
Does any body know nothing about that ?
BR
On my fire tv edition I had to hold the power button a few second with the tv turned off and a few second after the logo starts up. The physical power button on the tv. You can try on the remote too, the same way. This is how you get to tv recovery on a fire tv edition.
Actually I didn't understand what to do !
Could you please write the steps again by detail ?
thank you
Do you have an android tv or a smart tv? Is it a streaming device or the tv itself is not working? Turn off tv, hold down power button while you plug the tv back on and wait for a start up screen then the recovery screen.
Yes I have and Android TV.
It was working correctly , but after some changes in firmware files using ADB, it has been stuck in startup screen.
Because of that I needed to go into recovery mode.
I followed up your instructions, but nothing happened.
My TV brand is UNEVA. It is a Chinese brand and it is not famous at all.
But its firmware name is "Wisdom Share" which is a bit famous.

You should be able to find the stock images for the current Android operating system on Google's website and then you can just reflash those
Your uneva brand Tv is an Android tv, and I assumed you connect to adb remotely. Can you check if you can still connect to adb? If you are messing with adb then you should know recovery mode, you need to get into recovery to factory reset.
Yes UNEVA is an Android TV and I used to connect to it using adb , but after making some changes in OS files (in shell mode) , the TV damaged and now I just can ping the TV and can not connect to it using adb.
So finally I think I need to get into factory reset mode.
But the problem is that I don't know where is factory reset page?
watch this video, it is how i factory reset my tv when i couldnt get pass the tv logo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-kdQjSE__A
I watch the video.
I did this bust it didn't work and my TV does not turn ON !
It means that my TV is different from the Toshiba model in YouTube video
every brand of tv have their own hard factory reset buttons to press when you cannot access the software of the tv. you have a tv i have never heard of maybe you can get a hold of pdf of your tv instructions. Good luck.
Unfortunately I could not find its Guide Book. It is almost a no-name Chinese brand and because of that, I thought maybe I can find a way using the TV's android software (Wisdom Share)
But anyway, thank you for your help.
I still have to search for a way and would be thankful if anyone can help.
