[Q] Help with cheap tablet - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone. Let me start out by saying that I searched here and everywhere for a solution to this problem and I am not sure if this is the right place to post. I bought two Supersonic SC-91MID tablets for my kids for Christmas. 3 days after they opened them up one of them stays at the android start screen where android is in silver letters and it will not go past that. The only buttons that they have are a home button, a reset button, and a power button. They have android 4.0 ICS on them. I have tried to get to recovery mode many different ways such as holding the home button or reset button and pressing power but noting works. My thought is that if I can get to recovery mode I can reinstall the stock ROM from the other tablet that i have. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if this will work or not but have you tried the power and both volume buttons?

I wish that I could try that but the volume buttons are not hard buttons they are soft buttons so basically they are just places on the screen that are designated as buttons. But yes I tried them anyway no luck. I got the egg to RMA them at there cost so that is good. I am going to send them out Monday. I just hope that they don't act up again. Thank you for your help though.

Bump. Same issue here

[Q] DELL Venue Pro : Weird lock/Stuck

Hi,
I purchased DVP from eBay from the guy who slightly used it. It seems its was a T-Mobile version. When I got it first time and inserted my sim in it and started the phone, it stucked on a screen which says.
7:41
Saturday
January 05
try again in 16794320 minutes
And I can't do anything on it except for the emergency call (or camera button works). I can see full signals, and also can receive calls. But can't make any call (except for emergency) and any other operation on the phone.
Is there someone who can suggest me whats wrong with the phone and why it is stucked in that weird situation? And most importantly, how can I get rid of this situation?
thanks.
Sameers
your handset is pin locked and wrong pin entered lots of times
Thank you for your reply.
But is there any way to unlock it? Please suggest.
thanks,
Yes, the only option at this point is to do a hard reset. take the battery out for about 30 secs., put the battery back in and hold both the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time and hit the power button once while still holding down the volume buttons. You should see a white screen with instructions, follow the on screen instructions. Note that you might get the rainbow screen, if this happens just repeat steps until you get the white screen; took me a few tries but it works.
thanks for the suggestion.
I am trying that, but it seems not working. I kept pressing both volume keys and then press power button and it simply boots up, no white or any other screen.
Somewhere else on the internet, I read that you can't hard reboot Dell Venue Pro using buttons, the only way to do that is using its about menu (I never saw about menu of Windows 7 as this is the first time I am using it). Is that true?
thanks

Make sure you hold the 2 volume buttons down and then press and hold the power button for a second but keep holdin down the volume buttons the whole time.
Believe me, I tried it exactly as you said.
Hold down both volume buttons.
Pressed the Power button and released.
I took off the battery for several minutes and then put that back in and then tried it. But it just booted normally. Holding down the camera button though takes it to the USB mode.
I even tried that with and without SIM card.
Are you sure you tried that with Dell Venue Pro?
thanks, I appreciate your help
Ok first of the Dell was my favorite Windows phone but lacked some things that other Windows phones have like after Mango update the caplebility to WiFi tether and the camera is just hands down awful. Anyway I have a Titan now. Anyhow I gonna help you. Like I mention the Dell lacks a few things other windows phones have and one of it is the hard reset button combination. It won't work on the Dell. Your best thing to do is contact dell they can help you getting the phone back up running for you. Sorry.
I believe that the thread in the Venue Pro forums about how to unbrick it will apply here to fix your issue.

Found this on line (Google is your friend):
How to hard reset Dell Venue Pro using phone buttons
1. Switch the phone off, if it is unresponsive, remove the battery and reinsert after few seconds.
2. Press volume down and camera buttons simultaneously and keep holding it.
3. Press Power button and then release it but continue holding the volume down and camera buttons.
4. Once you see the format screen release the pressed buttons.
5. Follow the instructions to reset your phone to its factory default settings.

Do you have a link of that? I have been trying but didn't found any solution out there as well.
Tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411300 ?
What you've tried so far was Volume buttons, not Volume down+Camera buttons. Try that first and don't give up, on some phones you have to try many many times (my 2nd Desire HD wouldn't allow me to get to the boot loader before 15 minutes! I sold it the next day and I still owe the 3rd one).

thank you forelli. But remember, the volume down and camera buttons causes to boot in USB mode. I am not sure how it will get it to hard reset.

[Q] HKC recovery mode

The title pretty much says it all, but I bought a HKC P776A tablet, and to say the most support is non existent for this product/brand, I've rooted it myself which was hard to figure out specially the drivers...but what I can't figure out is how to put this device into recovery mode on boot? And if it can I have no idea how you could even navigate it seeing as it only has home and power buttons as physical...Any ideas?

If you install the appropriate CWM Recovery, you can swipe up and down on the screen to change the selection and then swipe left to select or right to go back.

holding the the home button plug in the charger and wait for a android screen to come up it will show a android dude laying on his back with his chest open and a triangle warning symbol when you see that release the home button and press the home and power buttons at the same time and wait like 1 second then release the power button while still holding the home button and wait for the recovery mode to show then release the home button and voila!! you are in. When you are there navigate using the home button and press the power button to select. Hope this helps.

[Q] Help! Boot Loop with HKC A072D

So I've been googling for quite some while on this tablet, and haven't got any help.
Brand HKC Model A072D
No vol buttons, there is a reset button tho, I have tried to get into recovery with it but, have gotten nowhere. There is no firmware on HKC official site and i can't even get it to read on my pc, so that means no adb . Does anyone know how to flash or reset this? Thanks...

Nope, it won't work, cause i used the wrong rom to flash it, and its like hard bricked, nothing on the screen whatsoever.
The only is, if you hold PWR and connect it to the pc, you hear a "attached device" noise but the installation of the drivers fail. Need help with this tab

Did anyone have any idea what happen to my tablet

I don't know is this is a right place to make this topic
This happen to chinese tablet when install app(coc) to my tablet and it restart itself and I am stuck at the boot screen with nothing on it tried to hard reset it and the problem still there(sorry for my bad English)
I think there is a option of hard reset but long pressing of volume and home button simultaneously. I am not sure which buttons you have to press. So I suggest you to search over Google.

Azpen A750 Tablet

Hello Everyone,
My dad gave me this tablet to try and reset/restore or just get it back to original out of the box state. Problem is he set up a password and now can't remember it. Tried a set of instructions I got from a simple google search which involved pressing power 10 times while holding volume down, then pushing reset 3 or 4 times with a paperclip...possibly while still holding volume down? I don't know, the instructions were somewhat vague. Bottom line I couldn't get that to work. Anybody out there familiar with these tablets? Thanks for the help
Jeff
Can you access the recovery ( usually by turning off the tab and pressing volume up and power button at the same time) if you can you should find an option to factory reset your tab. ( you can navigate to the reset option with volume keys and select using power button).
Press thanks if I helped.

I appreciate that. And as luck would have it, we figured out the password so we're in! Then the issue became on of getting warning pop-ups regarding the security of website certificates at every site we visited. Setting the correct date and time resolved it. So we're good now. Thank you very much for the help. Much appreciated.
Jeff
