Hi all,
Was wondering if i can get help or a solution to my problem.
I have an advance II novo 7 tablet, First of I''l start at the beginning.
I flashed my tablet and before i did i done a nandroid back up,
now i have realised i have flashed it with the wrong rom for the simple fact when i press
left, my tablet pointer goes right. In my tablet it wont sync with pc nor will it boot in to recovery mode.
All my programmes are missing except terminal and a few others, my tablet will not connect to wifi.
So i can't just download a copy of CWM prem, an install it.
Oh yeah my memory card is full but it's like a virus, i can't access it and as above
everything is back to front. Can i even install or do something via terminal?!?
Any help would be much apprectiated, as at the moment I'm sitting basically with a dead slate.
Kind regards.
Joseph.
From my experience, the custom ROMs have a shortcut to boot into recovery. Press and hold power button, when menu arrives, goto Restart > Recovery, press OK.
Please tell if it helps or not

So here's a puzzle.
My nexus one has a broken power button, and I learnt to get around it with apps like quickboot, that let me boot into recovery automatically.
I flashed cyanogenmod 7 (nandroid before that) and turned the phone on. It worked perfectly, but I had forgotten to flash gapps, so I do.
Now I turn my phone on and it boots to the "Touch the android to begin" tutorial/thing. The android lights up when I touch it, but doesn't change screen. It just stays there. Now that is apparently not unheard of, and the advice is to wipe or reflash the rom and/or gapps. The problem is, since I don't have a power button, I can't go into recovery mode from the bootloader, I'd have to do it using the quickboot, but I can't because the screen is stuck.
Is there a way to flash a rom from a pc? Any other ideas? Anything is much appreciated.
Try a method called "passimg" which is used to revert to stock android. I don't have much to time to look into it for you, but it's possible, because i had to do the same for mine. You place the file on your sd card root then boot (using the battery removal/insertion method) while holding the volume down button. You'd have to re-root then you can try to recover again.
I am a SUPER NOOB... I rooted my phone and S-Off it... Was trying to flash a ROM, did not work no my phone is stuck at all white screen with HTC across it.. Please help
if you pull the battery to turn off the phone, put the battery back in and hold the volume down button while you press the power button does it take you to the bootloader? And secondly, can you get to the recovery from there?
Yes... Now the son of a gun won't even power on...
I done did something bad... It wont even power up, or charge.... Before you ask me could I get to the boot loader screen I could, but I was jacking around with all kinda of stuff now the thing won't even power up..
How long are you holding the power button to turn it on, you just need to press the power button long enough to power the device on, but keep your finger on the vol down button until you get to the bootloader. Also, do you have the updated clockwork mod recovery installed that doesn't have the charging issue. Basically, is your battery dead?
ok now i have power...
Just please help me get my phone to come on so i can use it.. I am in boot loader now(held power button and volume down button)
go to recovery
Did it... What's next? I've tried everything on the list.. Nothing, that was before I actually posted the thread...
ok, if you are in the clockwork mod recovery, from there you need to do a full wipe, "data factory reset" cant remember the exact option. after you do a full wipe then you can try to install the rom again.
"data factory reset" did.... Phone still can't get pass that same screen....
did you re-install the rom after the factory reset? Also, the rom takes a while to boot the first time.
how can I re-install a Rom if my phone cant even get pass the screen and come on for me to get to the disk drive to drag and drop the ROM?
I am new to the andriod world, so please excuse the Noob-Ness
Ok..
When you downloaded the rom did you put it on your sd card?
What rom did you flash, and how did you flash it?
Lets start there.
**Edit**
And did you even read the following thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I put it on my SD card.... I tried to flash it, didn't work... I flash well attempted to flash it from the Recovery Mode(Power and Volume down) click "install from Sd card" and click the ROM, then rebooted...
My suggestion would be to use your computer to download a new rom from the dev section. Find a usb adapter for the micro SD card and move the new rom to it. Try flashing the new rom from CWM. Sounds to me like you got a rom that isn't for the sensation. Do you remember which rom you downloaded?
InsertCoin..I think it was me.. I just might have **** something up.. I follow the direction from the guy on Thelockr dot com.. it wasnt that hard. I just F my phone up...
How long are you waiting when you turn on your phone after flashing the rom? As I said before it takes a while to boot the first time.
At least 3 mins per go.
Ok so i've looked, cant find anything to help me out here... Its always possible i used the wrong search terms but i think i did pretty good...
Anyway, i had flashed i believe a CWM version of ICS when it first came out because it was easy to do, and i was able to keep root. Well I ended up with the CWM Recovery version that had the problem of constantly booting into CWM, so i fixed that and the tablet was telling me there was a firmware update, so i did it..
Now im stuck at the splash screen... When i try to boot into Recovery, it says its loading the recovery image but never does anything else. When i tried to load the other screen where you can choose recovery or the OS, i think people call it the linux screen? I dont remember, but when i did that, the big battery meter displayed on the phone for a second then disappeared... Wont turn on now, so i just plugged it in.. Is there something im missing? Or something i can do that anyone is aware of?
Check if the Android Debug Bridge works, and is your device a B60 or lower, (sbkv1)? If so you can use NvFlash to restore the tab.

Last time i tried to boot, i tried Power+Volume Up and i saw the large battery that android phones typically show when they are powered off and you plug it in.. If i remember right, TF101 typically boots up if you plug it in when turned on, but it turned on, flashed that battery image and shut off, havent been able to turn it on since... Plugging it into my computer though, it wont turn on, plugging it into the wall outlet it turns on and sticks at the splash screen, so i'm gonna leave it there for a bit and see if it charges, then i'll try plugging it into the comp to see if ADB works... I'll let you know, thanks!
To get to recovery its power +vol down. Power + vol up gets you to apex mode, blank screen.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
.....don't know if I read all your info correct but to enter recovery is volume down + power until you get a message at the top of the screen then you let go both and press volume up to enter recovery or if you don't hit volume up it takes you to the cold boot / wipe data screen.
Yes, i posted that... I tried booting to recovery and it freezes when it says its loading the recovery image.
I was trying other combinations trying to remember the linux screen or whatever it was called, but either way. ADB mode doesnt work, im stuck at the splash screen.
SOLUTION: Do not do the update after fixing your TF101 if you have this same problem, because you'll have it again! Either way, here's what you do.
1) Since you cant shut off the TF101, hold the power button until the screen goes blank, then immediately let go of the power button and hold volume down. 2) The splash screen will re-appear, dont let go of the Volume Down button until you see the text at the top left corner of the screen prompting you to press volume up to enter recovery.
2) Dont press Volume Up since it will freeze trying to get into recovery. Instead, just wait and make sure your not holding down or pressing any buttons.
3) After a few second, you will be presented with two icons, one to wipe data and one to boot android/linux, selecting android/linux WILL work and boot, but you'll have the same issue as before without fixing anything if you reboot again. Follow the instructions to wipe your data. YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING!
4) At this point, Recovery still wont work. Boot your TF101 and get it setup and use the Play Store to download a terminal emulator
5) Open the terminal emulator and type SU and press enter, confirm superuser access.
6) Type in the following and press enter when done: echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
7) Restart your transformer, let it boot normally the first time, after that, recovery should work.
8) Problem solved, DONT install the update this time! Install a custom ROM the typical way using CWM, and your set!
So, one thing i've noticed is im being spammed out of my mind from the OS to do that system update, so i've found that the best thing to do once your bootable, is to flash a custom ROM.
I tried this but went back to the same ICS version I had before, and ran into the same problems. Ended up with a whole other ROM, and now all problems are solved!
Good luck to anyone that has this issue!

so you lost all data, all apps, all settings, all the effort and work and time to config apps and settings... UGH
I am in the same boat on my TF201 after the JB update bricked my tablet... really pisses me off as Asus says RMA it (which you know they will just wipe your data) or wipe the data yourself and hop it works. So badly want to salvage my app settings and all the work I did to trick out my tablet. F***** Asus, their own update fried my tablet.
Hi, I have an ACER A200 Tablet. The partitions are totally wiped out and not able to boot, basically nothing on screen when power on. Anyone can advise how to recover from here? Any tools? ADB etc nothing is working. Thanks.

Download and copy any custom ROM of your choice to external sd card (update.zip format) by using any card reader (if your pc/laptop is not recognizing your tab and storage when connected).
Now power off your tablet and press and hold left volume button and then press and hold power until Acer icon appears and white text in the upper left corner, now release the buttons.
It will automatically install the ROM!
NOTE: Do not extract the downloaded zip format ROM. Copy it as it is.
Hope it helped you.
Hi,
Thanks for the response, its not working. Nothing on the screen on power up. The whole system is gone, no boot or recovery partition.
I guess the only way is to use some tool to sort of reconfigure the partitions into the internal memory. I have no idea how to do that. Appreciate any advise.
Try to get into download/recovery mode and flash stock ROM.
I guess it got soft bricked.
Have got an idolian studio 10 tablet. when turn it on for the first time it went directly to the recovery instead of booting up. Reboot and factory reset, didn't work.

I need to got to their website .... Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on to, "Downloads" once on the download page, you should see a few tabs on the right hand side. One is the 633Mb file that has everything you need to put your system together. The other tab is the actual PDF instructions on how to preform this these tsks. Can add, once you have downloaded and opened up those files, you will see another "manual inside" if i recall correctly, the manual is in English, after the Chinese .....
Hope this can help
