[Q] NOOB bricked acer a100 help! - Acer Iconia Tab A100

I tried using the simple root and clockwork mod method and now my a100 keeps cycling thru bootloaderversion 0.03.06-ics-ics (unlock mode) with green acer logo. If I reboot holding power+down sd update command recovery
update_package=sd card update.zip
booting recovery kernal image
then it starts cycling again.
Please can someone help!

same
Same thing here (or at least very similar). Hoping there's a simple solution like the "Odin back to stock" I can do on my SGS phone.

are you sure that the bootloader say "unlock mode"?
If so, then try this.
try this
Install the USB drivers on your PC if you haven't done it already. ( http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A100&OS=a08&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 )
install android SDK. ( http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html )
copy the update.zip file to your SD card root.
download TWRP recovery ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608152 ) and place it in the platform-tools dir where the SDK was installed ( ex. C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools )
Once all that is done follow these steps
1) boot the tablet to fastboot mode
2) run command prompt on PC (cmd.exe)
3) cd to the platorm-tools dir
4) type the following lines one at a time.
adb.exe
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFRECOVERY.img (ex. recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
5) hold the vol down button on the tablet
6) type fastboot reboot.
The tablet should now reboot to the recovery program. Goto settings and mount the external SD card, then flash the update.zip by going to install.
Hope this helps

Did you rename/delete /etc/install-recovery.sh ?
I think you're not. Try to make hard reset, then boot normaly rename/delete this file and after that flash recovery again, it should work.
All it's explained here.

Thank you

Okay, I downloaded everything but my computer doesnt recognize my a100 anymore, only if I put the tablet into fastboot then it see's it. My tablet just keeps on rebooting itself repeatedly unless I go into fastboot. Please tell me I dont have a paperweight.

were getting close
Blackshinobi or anyone that can help,
I'm getting close. I make it to: "fast boot flash recovey" cmd prompt
I get two different errors depending hoew I type the cmd prompt:
1. "fastboot flash recovery recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img"
error (can not load recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
2. "fastboot flash recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img"
error ( cannort determine image file name for 'recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
I was a little confuse on proper cmd line prompt, but I'm thinking #2 is the correct way.
Thanks so much for your help!

That's awesome news!!!
Number 1 is the correct command.
Just making sure you are actually in fastboot (bootloader) mode. On the command-promt type "fastboot devices", if you see the result below, then you're good
? fastboot (yes that's a question mark)
Now be sure you are in the directory with the recovery image and issue number 1 command (fastboot flash recovery whatever-recovery.img). If you get some errors, be sure to check the MD5 hash of the recovery image cuz it could be a corrupted download.
Of course, you can't flash the custom recovery if you still have a locked bootloader.

you guys rock..even closer
Thank-you everyone ..I am soooo close. I did get the recovery image to load (I accidently had it in android-sdk and not platform-tools...oooops my bad). Now I can reboot to recovery and install the update.zip off my external sd card. However after I install the update.zip and reboot, I still get stuck on the acer screen (bootloader version 0.03.06-ICS (Unlock Mode) at top with acer logo in green at bottom.
Which update.zip am I suppose to be using? Currently I am trying to install one of the stock ROMS from the developer section of this forum. Am I suppose to be using a specific one?
Thanks again, I know I'm close. My tablet has been brick'd for weeks and I'm dedicated to getting it back now that I have time.

Congrats resurrecting your tab! Gotta be a great relief!
How about Flexreaper ROM? It will require full wipe before flashing: in recovery wipe/factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash Flexreaper ROM zip file. This is basic guide, follow detailed instructions on this ROM thread (link is in my sig).
Sent from my A100 using xda premium

not quite recovered yet. I still get the hang on Acer screen. anyone know why? I will try flexreaper

I'm BACK
Thanks to all. I'm back up. flexreaper did work.. I hope the guy who actually started this thread is as lucky.

Not so lucky

Power down the unit. Set screen lock in the up position. Hold volume down and power. When powered on keep holding the vol down button. Then toggle the screen lock to down.
That should do a factory reset.
Then put a stock rom in the root of SD Card. Volume up then power until let the tablet recover.
This worked for me.

did u install the drivers from an earlier post? Also when you power up you your tablet you need to boot into fastboot mode? You're certain you have done both of these things?

I am unable to connect to, my pc doesnt recognize my acer anymore...unless by sd card you mean external card? Thank you for trying to help. I'm a serious noob but trying hard.

i'm in a similar situation. i accidentally deleted the build.prop file and rebooted. now it only displays a black screen after the acer logo drops out. my boot loader is locked but i cant install the mtp usb drivers to fix anything. think i have a paperweight now.

tried. i had no alternative recovery on it. i could not get the sd card mounted to push the zip to it. both adb and fast boot wont see my tablet. every attempt at unlocking fast boot wouldn't work. I tried to check in device manager to see if it was connected, the driver was working but it had an error message "Device can not start (Code 10)"

My pc only sees my tablet when I boot it into fastboot mode and sees it as an adb interface...Is there anything I can do from there?

[Q] [PROBLEM] htc desire recovery - volume keys not working

Hi!
I recently rooted my Desire with unrevoked 3 and I installed the ReflexS rom. Everything worked perfectly!
I was curious for Cyanogenmod and I downloaded version 7.0.3 directly through Rom Manager. When the download was completed it suggested to install which I agreed. I think clear Dalvik cache was marked, but clear data cache was not. I agreed... maybe my first mistake.
After this Cyanogenmod was installed, but my Desire stayed on the boot screen (sakteboarding android with running arrow) for over 30min so I took out the battery. I restarted and it goes well until the android setup screen "tap the android to begin". I can tap and it gets glowing, but it does not continue! I can not go any further than this. The only thing I can do is choose a language or shutdown.
To overcome this issue I thought of recovering/reinstalling my previous ROM. I also have a Titanium backup.
Now here's the problem: when start up into recovery, my volume buttons won't work so I can not enter into the recovery menu.
What should I do?
I'm getting desperate, because my phone is down at the moment!
Thanks for your help!
you mean volume buttons dont work in recovery or in bootloader ?
in recovery you can navigate using trackpad, in bootloader you must wait around 10-15 seconds until you can use volume buttons to navigate.
and yes it was a BIG mistake not to make a wipe before the flashing of cyanogenmod....
you should have done a full wipe
Ok will firstly, go to the Cyanogenmod stable topic to read how to install out. Secondly, avoid rom manager. Thirdly, to boot into recovery, boot your phone like normal and plug your phone into your pc. After about 20 second the usb will kick in. This is where you use the adb reboot recovery command in command prompt or terminal. Enjoy.

You can alwys get into recovery through the adb shell.
Hi.
I know this tread is old but the issue is relevant because this is still a persistant problem.First of all thanks for the tip and second i have great,great news !!! you dont even have to deassemble the phone to put the up down button to work.Just insert the alcool UNDER the volume button with a seringe with a needle and click the button for a minute or two...wait until the alcool evaporates and VOILÁ !! problem fixem !! Not need todeassemble or using adb.Just do this and you will be fine.

Erased EVERYTHING

I accidently erased everything from the KF2, all I have on it now is the recovery.
How can I get a rom back on the device?
When I plugged it in the computer under Device Manager it says Portable Devices >> F:/
When I go to my computer to try to enter f:/ its inaccessible.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Same issue here. Understood the instruction to wipe everything before installing ROM to mean "System" and "Internal Storage" as well. Now the downloaded ROM and "gapps" zip files are gone...
Found something called "ADB Sideload" in TWRP, could that help?
Like the OP, would appreciate some help. Kindle is a brick for now...

Back Up & Running
First You need a Fastboot Cable.
Run The Recovery Tool. (Options 1 then 2)
When its completed unplug the Fastboot Cable and press and hold the power button until the KF2 turns off.
Turn it back on and you are all set to Root it!

OK, thanks LEGEND94, that helped !
Only difference to above: did not use a Fastboot cable to get into fastboot mode, rather fmkilo's technique here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2117224
Held off button to shut down and restarted without having to do anything else, did not have to type any command to get out of fastboot mode.
Am restarting root and ROM flashing, hopefully will work this time.

even though legend was OP, his method was a bit overkill, but totally fine.
Once you have recovery, or even the bootloader, you should NEVER need to restore. From the bootloader you can get into fastboot now, and from fastboot you can get the recovery.
As for putting files on, I'm not sure. I could look it up but you both got your issues solved. If someone coming here does need the help, PM me and I can look it up, but from what i remember on other android devices, usually the recovery somewhere has an option to mount USB like a storage device (probably bad wording there) but basically just like when you "turn on usb storage" in the android OS.
I am ASSUMING TWRP has something similar, and if I'm wrong, I'm sure you can always ADB to push the files onto the device from your PC in fastboot mode.

One change to the above statement. I did have to get out of fastboot mode, but it was confusing how because the terminal emulator was now gone.
I did this instead via a command window with the Fire plugged into the computer. I sent the "fastboot -i0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1" command while in the root directory for the KF2_SRT_10.2.3 restore package, there is a fastboot.exe file there.
Hope that helps.

Ouya Bricked ?

Hello !
Here's my prob :
I installed CWM Recovery on my OUYA, and then i wanted to flash a ROM via recovery.
Unfortunately, i've done a full wipe while in recovery, and restarted the console.
Now it's turning on, with the power button on, black screen, and identifyed as an MTP USB device.
I tried the alt + Sysreq + i trick, but it doen't seems to work here ...
Any chance to get it back to life in other way ?
Keep trying alt + sysreq + i trick my takes about 50 times before the light on the ouya flashes then i have to hit the home key some times to see anything

Try these timings. I had the same issue and these worked for me. The keyboard trick is currently your only hope.
I keep pressing alt + sysreq + i keys at the same time takes me about 30 times to get to recovery the light will flash one time then i know im in recovery some times iget the ouya smile with a ! mark some time a black screen then i press home button to get to recovery push the home button again it goes away i have done about three ouya.
Problem solved.
My ouya doesn't loved my Microsoft Keyboard...
I used a generic on, and it works directly
Ouya saved
Another advice : if it doesn't work, try another keyboard !

Here is my Issue I installed The CWM and flashed over a few ROMS but really wanted to try out the CM10. I had all my files backed up but some how they were all deleted and when I turn on my machine I get the Cyanogen boot loop and I can do the keyboard trick print screen/ Alt / I but there is no files to recover and I have no way to load any ROM directly to my internal nand flash unless there is something I am missing.
I am so upset I with thy would have put a sd card slot on this thing. Can anyone help me to try to recover putting any stock ROM back on my machine or is there a way to get my PC to read my device to load the ROM to my internal HD?
Please any help and instructions would be greatly appreciated.

You have to fastboot the "boot.img" supplied with CM10. I had the same issue so pm me if you need help.:good:
Never, ever ever ever ever ever wipe the boot.img, if you want to be safe, never replace it either, you can always 'fastboot boot boot.img" it.

You can do it from CWM, but you don't have to be there. Depends on what you've done to your system. If you flashed CM10 and now it's detected as an MTP device your best bet is to reboot into recovery and 'adb reboot bootloader' then use fastboot commands. That's what worked for me.

Ah, stock recovery.... You could go into Apply Update From ADB. Then type "adb reboot bootloader" then you can type "fastboot boot boot.img" to boot successfully into CM10.
You can put the boot.img for CM10 in the same folder as fastboot.exe to make things easier.

I put the Ouya on sideload from adb.
Then i open adb on my pc, check to make sure it finds the Ouya and then i try to adb reboot bootloader. and that error comes up. if i try to load an .img file from the same place it just says <waiting for device> and doesn't ever move.

If it says <waiting for device> then its probably a driver issue with fastboot. When you reboot into the bootloader go into device manager and check the driver again. I also had this issue.

[Q] Am I bricked?

Please help! I am new to this and am worried I bricked my phone.
I successfully rooted my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus using a toolkit. It was then working fine with 4.2.2. I wanted to install Shiny Rom 4.4.2. I thought I successfully backed up apps and data using Titanium Backup.
I successfully moved the correct zip files to my phone, and realized I needed Clockworkmod recovery. I followed a procedure to get this on my phone by using my computer's command prompt. I successfully booted into Clockworkmod recovery and followed the process of wiping data/factory reset, successfully installed radio and bootloader recommended to install with ShinyROM but got stuck and could not install the ShinyROM itself. I think it is because it requires a later version of Clockworkmod. The one I downloaded using the procedure was 5.5.0.4, but I think I need a later version. I tried following the same procedure using my computer's command prompt and it got stuck at "waiting for device". I cannot get out of Clockworkmod recovery now (even battery pull, etc.). I then found some threads saying I need to restore my old ROM first. (I think) the only ROM on my phone is ShinyROM. I am stuck and stressed out because I do not know of a way of "pushing" the new version of Clockworkmod to my phone.
Can I fix this, or do I need to start shopping?

i think u already wiped data partition at first, that why your Rom installation aborted bcoz recovery cant mount any partition.
still got your old system partition here.
from recovery ~ try adb sideload your shinyRom. can your pc detected bootloader (fastboot)/recovery?

Well, I went ahead and tried this, and still could not install ShinyROM.

I downloaded (full) SDK and updates and updated the drivers. When I get to the following steps from the procedure...
-Boot your device in recovery mode (Android logo with a exclamation mark) and connect your device to PC
-Hold down "power" button first, followed quickly by "volume up" button. You should now see the recovery menu
I only boot to CWM and there is no Android with Exclamation mark. Holding down power button only selects whichever option is highlighted within CWM.
Also, it seems within CWM, there is supposed to be an option to sideload a zip file. This option does not exist in my version of CWM.

Regarding partition, I have an option to wipe cache partition. Should I do this?

Thanks. I found another thread that led me to the same conclusion, except I was able to do it with CWM and fastboot the latest version using ADB sideload. I still haven't posted enough to link, but here were the details from user camblue.
"
If you know how to use ADB you can always fastboot a recovery.img,,,,this thing is almost impossible to truly brick. IN order to get into fastboot just connect to your computer and run adb with these commands
adb reboot bootloader
once in fastboot mode write this
fastboot devices
that will tell you if your device is connected and reading in fastboot mode if it is you will see something like fastboot and some numbers next to it. If nothing you do not" have the fastboot drivers installed.
then to fastboot flash a recovery.img write this
fastboot flash recovery r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img (or whatever recovery.img you are using or have in your tools folder of you SDK location).
and in order to get right into CWM if you cant boot write this
fastboot boot r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img
hope that helps

Help I bricked my Oneplus 3

Hi, i played around with my new OP3, and i wanted to root it. Since i'm noob at rooting, it went wrong. (i did it with twrp)
So first it just went in to bootloop, then i was still able to get to rcovery and stuff, but i followed a guide to fix bootloop, and that ****ed it even more up. The guide i followedet told me to use "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool"
After using "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool", i now cant even go into recovery anymore, the only thing i can do is go to bootloader, but when i'm in bootloader now, it wont connect proberly, so that i can use "flash twrp", so that i can use twrp recovery.
Also when i try to boot it, it because of "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool" goes into something, where it says "md5 checksum failed", and then restarts and does it again and again.....
I hope it's not bricked forever, pls help ))
have you tried re-flashing the stock or twrp recovery with adb sideload command?
if not give it a shot, it might work.

And how do you say I do that? I have tried using the "tool all in one", where you han flash both stock and twrp, but it doesnt seem to do anything, when i press them (and the device is in bootloader)

Just boot into bootloader mode and through command prompt check if your phone is detected by typing fastboot devices. If its detected then you flash a new recovery again. Forget the toolkit, just look for instructions on how to install a custom recovery.

In fastboot mode, did you manage to find your device on the computer? On Linux this is "sudo fastboot devices", on Windows it should be roughly similar.

Might seem a silly question but what phone are you using? If it is a OnePlus3 have you installed the correct drivers?

What should I do?

Hey!
I'm not the expert but I have played with my 1+3 enough to have some knowledge.
First of all, do not use "all in one tools", those do not put you in control.
Cool, so fastboot is detected, though you can't get into the recovery?
Step 1) make sure you have the latest version of "fastboot" and "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) and unlock the bootloader. This tread should be helpfull: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733
You need to do this, because otherwise we will not be able to proceed (i.e. the phone is to be 'unlocked' for what we are about to do).
Step 2) If you are ready than let's flash a new recovery (TWRP):
This is also step 2 in the thread mentioned above. Very important: "Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed."
So once you have flashed a new recovery using fastboot, than you should reboot your phone into the new recovery!
step 3)
Once in the new recovery (TWRP) go to advanced and to ADB sideload. Make sure your computer detects your device with the command "adb devices" and flash a new ROM. Just for simplicity use the official OOS 3.2.4.
This should do the trick. Before you go and try make sure you understand EVERYTHING I have written. Let me know if you have questions.

It will detect as MTP device.Im my computer it was in the name of RAIN Transfer the zip file to internal storage. Wipe cache. And select install option in TWRP and select the zip file u pushed and flash it. Best of luck..

Hey i have the same problem but this fix does not work for me.
So I have the bootloader unlocked and I can enter the bootload and my computer detects my device which is nice.
when I flash twrp on my phone trough CMD it doesnt work, my PC tells me that everything is okay but my phone will not boot into twrp and instead it will give me weird errors.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
this fix worked for me,
On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.
- download this : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424942573
and then extract.
- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.
- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.
- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here
- type fastboot devices
- make sure your serial number appear.
- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.
- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.
- make sure you flash all the missing partition.
- type fastboot reboot.
this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.
unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA
goodluck mate. sorry for my english

Hmm bad try installing all op3 drivers and see whether phone is detected or not. I was in the same situation previously. Pushing zip through adp terminal is painful process. I got device offline first,after solving that i got service not recognized issue. For solving that usb debugging needs to be enabled i stuck in that step.
can you enter recovery trough fastboot mode? I.e. if you are in fastboot mode you van use the volume keys to select recovery.
100% sure you can't enter recovery?
you can try Fast and pro's option. let us know!
