I'm not sure you guys can help me here as you seem to deal mostly with phones but I'm hoping, here is my problem.
I have the Pandigital PRD07T20WBL7 the tablet has never been hacked and I have had it for some time now but this morning when I turned it on It got as far as the boot screen and then just sits there, I have tried multiple times to reset it and/or cause it to restore to factory (Holding power and Vol up) I'm honestly not very knowledgeable when it comes to tablets or android systems so I'd love some advice on what I might be able to do to get this one working again, at this point restores or even a workable hack would be welcome. If someone could advise or point me in the right direction I would much appreciate it. BTW I have tried to run the Canadian update to the firmware just to see if I could get it working and it wont go in I get an error from the installer I've attached a screen of the error the updater gives me if thats any help to anyone. I appreciate any help I can get with the problem thank you.

Hello, I am completely new to this and have completely messed up my SGS. I don't know if this has already been answered but I am desperate for any kind of help.
I learned about the entire Darky-ROM thing yesterday and have been working on making my SGS as cool as this. But I think I may have bricked it.
Everything worked fine until the last moment where I downloaded an Lag-fix called 'One-click lag fix' - it said installed successfully and it then rebooted the phone. The phone has now been stuck on the loading screen ever since.
I have a SGS where I cannot get into the download mode or Recovery mode using the physical buttons. To install Darky9.5 I had to enter the modes through various apps on the market. I don't know what to do as I cannot enter those modes to reinstall anything without the phone working properly.
I am pleading for anyone to help as I need my phone and really regret getting involved with this and wish I had just stayed with my 'stock' mode phone.
Please help if you can.
Try making a jig like this person did, it might be the only way unless other people know anything..

hey guys im new to the scene and trying to figure as much stuff out on my own as i can, usually i do a good job and don't need to ask for help. but i do when i have to, so the problem i am having is with a sony xperia play .
its my brothers phone and i was thinking about getting one but i want to "root" it and see whats what with it but i am trying to do so without unlocking the bootloader just incase anything goes wrong with it later so it remains under warranty. im coming from the iphone jail-breaking scene so this is a little different. but i want to give it a go. so i'm trying to root it i checked out this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765&page=1
i realize at the top of the post it says not all devices are supported because of new FW's does the FW i am on fall in this category?
i tried it with the 1.2.apk and the 1.1
im not sure why it is not working.
but i have a feeling its got something to do with the FW the phone has come with
its running 2.3.3
build number 3.0..1.A.0.145
model number r800i
kernal version 2.6.32.9-perf
i formatted the SD card before anything then after i installed gingerbreak to the phone itself. (also tried it without formatting it, i installed gingerbreak and tried to run it then and it didnt work so i rebooted formatted SD card and tried again and still nothing)
made sure the phone was set to be in USB debugging mode.
gingerbreak opens and has the options there but when i tap "root device" it just says "running exploit" ect on screen and nothing changes. on the post it says usually about 10 minutes but i read through it and one person said it worked for theirs but it took an hour and a half, but another said it took 3-5 minutes.
so i do not know what i am doing wrong. but i have a feeling its the FW it has come with out of the box but i have not been able to find out any information about it as of yet.
i have found another post saying to flash it with a UK generic FW 2.3.2 .184
but im guessing i cannot downgrade to a FW that was not on the phone from packaging. although i may be wrong but that is usually the norm with this kind of thing.
any help in getting me in the right direction is greatly appreciated, and i hope to be able to help others in the future. yes it doesn't seem like i am of much help right now seeing as i can't even get it rooted yet. but i tend to pick up on things very fast. today i am having trouble getting in to it. but soon enough i will get there thank you to anyone who read this i know it is a little long but i wanted to make sure i gave as much information as possible to make sure i haven't left out something critical if i have left out anything let me know and once again thank you for taking the time to read this post and reply (if you did reply =] )
BUMP -- ?

i know im new to the forum/site but please don't let that stop any of you. if that is stopping you
ive done as much searching as i can and i keep drawing up blanks.
Hi all,
Not quite sure if any one is going to be able to help me here but I am getting desperate, Also if anyone can point me to a better place to post this please do as I am a n00b
The firmware I am looking for is for a ATM7013 WITH the home button, I have tried around 5 different firmware and all install but the touch screen does not work, Even the firmware the manufacture sent me still does not allow the touch screen to work..
These are the ones I have tried so far -
UPGRADE_FAST.FW - 4 Different versions!!
Also tried the firmware for EV009
I know the tablets are not faulty as I fully tested them before trying to re-install the firmware. The reason for reinstalling the software was to fix a wifi problem (or at least try)
These are customers tablets so I am really really desperate to fix.
I would really appreciate any help and input.
Thanks

hi from where you download it ?
thanx
Okay so I've been looking for a LONG TIME trying to find a solution to this problem, but have yet to find one, so if this thread is a duplicate issue, please move it to where it needs to be.
I have a Metro PCS Kyocera Hydro XTRM. I rooted the phone and it was fine. I will be the first one to tell you i am a major newbie when it comes to smartphone tweaking. I have been playing with electronics for years, and can pretty much build a desktop computer but newbie when it comes to android devices. So upon suggestion from a dev, I downloaded an app from the play store "BootUnlocker."
As Soon as I rebooted my phone, BAM! It gets stuck on the METRO PCS screen and stays there. I have pretty much tried everything I can think of. I have removed the battery a billion times and tried to hard reset the phone numerous times as well. And now, it won't even turn on but the LED power light on the front flashes when it's plugged in. I was thinking of trying Odin but when I plug the phone into the computer's USB port....it does absolutely nothing...doesn't read a thing.
I am hoping someone will be able to help with this soon as I would really like to know how to go about recovery on a phone that is completely Hard Bricked (as mine is now). If anyone has any suggestions, or has recovered a hard bricked xtrm, I would be so very thankful for your input.
Hi there! I'm afraid XDA doesn't have any information on that device that I can find. So....you can ask in our general Q&A section. I will ask a moderator to move your post there.
This is where it will go....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help?nocache=1&z=581026349682360
The only other suggestion I can give is to try searching the web for info on your device.
Hope you get it worked out!
never mind
Got the Note 20 Ultra 5g a week ago used from a decent reseller. Today I got the black screen of death. Stock firmware.
I want to return the phone while I have the chance, no interest in trying to fix it. It is password protected but I would ideally like to hard reset it before it goes back. Can anyone tell me how when I can't get the screen to work?
Phone beeps etc so I think is live.
The power button + vol down does give a vibration after 10 seconds but never gets to a Samsung logo.
Power button + vol up does the same.
Tried connecting to a pc, no change. No dex message on the PC.
If anyone can tell me how to do this reset so I can wipe it for peace of mind I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Edit; I removed the sim cards and then the PC detected the phone, and offered to install Dex. If that helps.
Ok before you do anything else. Stop. If you void the warranty by changing anything you can't return it
You need to find a trusted phone store near you or call the support number for the phones manufacturer
Thanks for the advice. Appreciated.

So I did a little more digging and found a website imma give you the link I'll read through the rest of it, and advise you what seems safe but in the end what you do is up to u
So you need to go into recovery mode and try something simple what you are gonna wanna do is find where to wipe the cache partition and that should solve it. but I'm guessing you can't get into recovery otherwise you could factory reset it there

Thanks again.
>>I'm guessing you can't get into recovery
Correct. The phone is goig back to the seller as it is within the return window. I don't want to mess with it. I think that was good advice. Did Samsung ever say if they resolved this issue properly? It puts me off this model. Very expensive phone to suffer such a problem.
