[Q] Lenovo ideapad K1 bricked while flashing - General Questions and Answers

Hi everybody, i would appreciate if any can help me to get my son's Lenovo iDeaPad back
originally device had Android 3.1.x but i want to upgrade it to a higher version. found a handfull of ROMs online but i picked the official upgrade at Lenovo webite.
I followed their PDF file to the letter but for some reason flashing stopped at some point while sending a file to device. after more than 30min i decided to unplug K1 pad and tried to re-do the whole process again.
plug K1, push it to recovery mode (2 LEDs light at home button are on) and windows detects it (under device manager, it shows NVIDIA USB boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices). BUT, once i start Flash.bat (or any other flash file), windows loses connection to device .. NVIDIA USB driver disappears and i had to unplug K1, turn it off and push i back to recovery mode for windows to detect it again
Running the nvFlash commands one by one i noticeds once nvflash command try to start, driver disappears and i get error "USB device not found" !!!! any idea would help, thanks to you all

Same issue here!
Well... I have the same issue. I tried everything and anything I could find on line to no avail.
At this point I am more than willing to pay some "expert" in the forum to unbrick the dammed thing, otherwise I just own a nice paper weight.
Anyone interested? We can exchange emails and arrange a payment method (Paypal preferred).
I will ship my Lenovo K1 tablet for repair, pay for the service and send a pre-paid return envelope via FedEx...
Please help!!! I used it EXTENSIVELY for work.
Thanks all.

USB not recognized + no Recovery

Hi All,
It has been a time that I unlocked my TF700t then followed the CM10 documentation to install 10.0 using CWM.
Recently I wanted to upgrade to 10.1 but it didn't work and ended with my tablet rebooting undefinitely.
I reverted then to install back the ASUS stock Rom from their website :
- I downloaded the file
- unzipped it (since it contains another zip)
- put it on a micro SD
- Booted into CWM
- installed the zip
I ended with a working tablet on the stock rom JB 4.1 but know I wanted to try again CM but I cannot access recovery anymore. I can access the bootloader but when I select RCK I get the droid laying on his back with the warning sign.
I thought I would need to flash another recovery (TWRP or other) using fastboot but now when I plug the tablet to my PC it keeps telling me that the device is not recognized. I tried to install the USB driver but it doesn't get detected.
Can anyone please help ? The tablet is working but I am afraid that it has lost some of its capabilities.
Thanks

Go to your system setting and select storage. Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and tick the box which is Media device (MTP).. Good luck..

I just tried that but it did not work, windows is still displaying USB device not recognized.

What Windows version are you running?
You may have to uninstall the drivers for your MTP device before installing new ones as well as disabling Windows to automatically install drivers for a new device, then manually point it to the Universal Naked Drivers folder.
Or downlaod Android SDK tool ad through it the Platform Tools and USB drivers.
BTW: When you flashed the stock firmware you lost your custom recovery. That's why you see the dead Droid - it's the stock recovery.
If you can't get fastboot to work you can use Motochopper to root your JB 4.1 stock firmware and then GooManager to install the latest TWRP recovery.

I have tested it on WinXP, Win7, Ubuntu and another box with Win XP. Always same thing the device is not recognized.
When I try to update the driver and point it manually to the naked drivers it cannot detect them.
I guess that even for running Motochopper I will need to get USB working to be able to root my device.
Any help please ? I am stuck with a sluggish stock mod that buries the perfs of my device.

Then it's a driver problem and it's solvable. What do you see in Device Manager under Portable Devices with your tablet connected? Did you uninstall the driver and re-install it?
Did you try to install Asus Sync (which should give you compatible drivers for the TF700)?
So many driver problems lately... there's got to be a pattern to it, but what it may be beats me :what:

In the Device Manager I have nothing under Portable Devices, but under USB devices it appears an Unrecognized USB Device and a bubble notifying about an unrecognized USB device keeps popping in the task bar. Even after installing ASUS Sync it is not detected.

You don't connect your tablet to the PC through the dock USB port, do you?? Just had that in another thread....
If you connect the tablet directly, I'm stumped. No idea why it's not recognized...

I don't have a dock and I am connecting directly with the cable. I have just reflashed it to stock rom again hoping it resolves itself but nothing.
It's driving me crazy. The stock rom is really sluggish and I want to flash it to CM
Sounds like a windows driver issue to me. You need to force windows to use the right usb drivers. You normally do this by upgrading thenm in device manager. You may have a borked windows installation to fix as well..
Try the ones I have attached.

I have tried different windows installations with the different drivers that you provided me, still nothing. It seems to me that the device is not even sending proper ids to the system. Can it be caused by a damaged cable ?

Had the same problem.I fixed it by uninstalling the faulty usb device. Then disconnected the usb cable. Reconnected. And the drivers installed.

Im having the same problem and after one day of research I could not find a solution. I bought a use TF700 with a standard andriod on it, no mod, not unlocked, no root. When I connect it to the pc I get the same error, meaning just a USB Device showing up. Tried different PC's with different types of OS, no success.
Did you manage to fix the problem ? I would really appreciate some help because now I can't use that tablet in debug mode to test my android applications and that's all I bought it for. By the way, is there a adb tool that works wireless and doesn't neet root access or can I get root access without connecting my pad to my pc ?
Thanks for the help !
Well did you install adb fastboot drivers on the PCs you tried? Did you try it under Linux? Do you have the original Asus cable you connect it with?
adb over network is an option under Developer Options in Omni and Omni based roms - at least the LP roms. I don't think you can get that with an app you install. Probably needs to be baked into the kernel.

First of all thanks a lot for your response, didn't think anyone would still react on that post because it's quite old. Yes I did install adb fastboot drivers, the device only shows up in the usb section saying usb device not recognized. I tried nearly every driver I found, installed the Andriod SDK, the Asus Sync Tool, the naked drivers... then removed them all (including the hidden ones) and installed just the adb fastboot -> no success. I have not tried it on linux, but on windows 7, 8 and 10. Android version is 4.2.1 and Build is 10.6.1.14.10. I now unlocked it using the apk provided by asus (version 7 , 8 did not work). Still for rooting I need pc connection, so I ordered a new cable today (cable is original Asus though).
I installed the Rom Manager and that tells me the ClockworkMod Recovery and TWRP are already installed. I also tried that recovery (power + vol) and got the same result as nacef meaning " I can access the bootloader but when I select RCK I get the droid laying on his back with the warning sign." Thing is, I don't know what the previews owner did, so it might be the reason he sold the Tablet. Can I get anywhere form that Bootloader ? Maybe boot as a Superuser and then use wireless adb to root the device ?
Thanks a lot for your help, Im feeling that I have wasted the money and the only way to get rid of that feeling is to fix the problem
Grab the Puppy Linux live CD from here: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/46090-guide-adb-fastboot-linux-live-cd.html
It has adb fastboot already installed. If you don't get a connection with that one the problem would be tablet side, not Windows related.
I booted using that Puppy Linux and followed the Guide but no success. After entering "adb devices" I get the output "list of adb devices attached" and than a blank space. So I tried booting in fastboot like you described in your guide and entered "fastboot devices" but that also gives me nothing. Fastboot works though (as it's already included in that image) so I tried a bunch of other fastboot commands but that just results in "waiting for the device".
I don't know what to do now, it has something to do with the tablet itself. Im waiting for the new cable but don't think thats gonna change anything.
You are not trying to do this through the dock port, right? You are connecting the tablet directly to the PC?
The only answer I have left is either a broken cable or one of the pins in the port is bent or broken. Get a magnifying glass and check them out.

[Q] LG optimus pro G bricked after using exitrecovery.zip

hello,
I hope someone can help me with my AT&T LG Optimus Pro G phone, which I have royally screwed up.
I was experimenting with the cyogen mod and after installation I installed the freegee app and once the cwm recovery was installed, I decided to go into the recovery by holding down up volume and power button.
Once I was in recovery for CWM i couldn't exit out, and the phone constantly booted into recovery after every reboot, even if i took out the battery, and powered it on.
I tried reflashing the cynogen mod through the sd card, and even though I would get success message the phone would still reboot into the cwm recovery.
I started doing research on the internet and i found file exitrecovery.zip that could be used to possibly get the phone out of the cwm recovery.
After installing exitrecovery.zip, I rebooted the phone, and now I have complete black screen. There are no light, no hints the phone is even turning on, and I can't get into recovery( or at least I can't tell). The only thing now is that when i connect the phone to the computer the window tries to install drivers for the device, and eventually prompts to insert a CD for LG drivers. I already have LGUnitedMobileDriver v.3.10.1 connection drivers installed from their website.
Please help, I am really stuck here..... and have no clue what to do. I am fairly new with rooting and modding, and I am extremely miserable.
The phone is still under warranty from LG. Anyone if all else fails, and since the phone has no screen or lights, whether they would replace it?
Attaching the exitrecovery.zip that I used.
sobbing....

hi, thanks for your reply. Again I very much new to the rooting and android OS tinkering, and nowhere close to an experienced user.
I tried to use google with your information in regards to how to use flow ROM with expansion.exe, but did not get any leads.
I would appreciate if you could elaborate more on this process.
When my phone is connect to the computer via usb is is constantly trying to install drivers. I had already installed LG usb connection drivers in the past and it was successful. It almost seems it tries to install driver yet fails after receiving no input from the phone, and then request LG CD with drivers.

Try to find driver on the web-site of producer. Set them. Overload a vehicle in Bootloader. In the controller of devices on компе must be determined your device. Then on a computer start sewing - .EXE.
Did you get this problem resolved? I have the exact problem with the exact phone!!!
thank you very much

[Completed] Tablet soft brick?

Hi, I got a new tablet called E-BODA Izzycomm Z80.
It came with a buggy OS and even the reseller (E-BODA, romanian rebrander, as the tablet is chinese) recommended updating the OS, Android 4.4.
I followed all the instructions. installed required drivers (for MTK) and with the SPFlashTool, but after selecting the scatter, pressing download button and connecting the usb cable, nothing happened - it didn't start doing anything even after waiting.
In the end, i have no idea what happened, but my tablet now will not start/charge.
But, when i connect it to the pc (windows 8.1) it makes the new device sound and i can see it in the device manager. but after a while, 6-7-10min it's icon get's that yellow exclamation mark saying that "This device cannot start"
It doesn't seem to be a "hard brick". Any ideas?
nevermind, dunno what happened to it, meta state or whatever. i help power and volume- for about 10 sec and it booted normally and works good now.
sorry for the trouble

HELP! Recovering my bricked Mi4

Since Xiaomi and Micro$oft released a public ROM of Windows 10 Mobile for Mi4, the curiosity drives me to try it. But I felt so uncomfortable after successfully installed win10 on my mi4.
So I decided go back to Android roms. But sh*t happened - my mi4 got bricked during the flashing.
Phone won't boot with black screen and no boot options. Holding any buttons (including power button + volume down more than 2 minutes) won't work.
The pc can not recognize a USB device after it is plugged in (in both Windows XP and Windows 8.1).
Then I plug it into my Mac OS X with a VirtualBox of Windows 7 OS inside.
The USB devices shows a unknown device of id 05C6:F006.
I did a lot of googling of 05c6:f006 which seems to be 05c6:9008 and something Qualcomm related.
And the most important thing is to make my computer to recognize it.
So things I need to figure out:
Is my phone hardware damaged or software damaged (hard bricked or soft bricked)?
Do I need to disassemble it?
How can I make my pc to recognize it ?
Please add screenshot of your phone state. Maybe we can determine if its a hardware or software issue

If it's getting recognised, we can try flashing another recovery or directly boot into recovery from command prompt by using command fastboot boot recovery.img
Try this and let me know if it works

Portable x12plus handheld console bricked

Hello!
Not sure if here is the correct place to ask this..
I was flashing a new firmware on this device a few days ago and it went wrong at 70%. I am using Multimedia Production Tool and after the error I can't get in ADFU mode anymore and can't even rollback to my backup fw. The program just don't recognize the device and when I plug the USB cable it starts and got stuck on the start screen (images on attachment).
Anyone has this device and has any hints to me? Is there another way to flash the fw to this device?
