I accidentally installed the wrong version of cwm on a softwinerEvb A13 model android 4.1.1 tablet. (I know dumb mistake - I have a few different versions I downloaded for different devices and I accidentally grabbed and flashed the wrong one with flashify app. Now I'm bricked as far as I know. I rebooted and it booted normally fine. Then I tried to boot into recovery (at this point I hadn't realized it was the wrong cwm version). The tablet just went to the boot screen and sits there. I held the power button to power down. devices turns off. then I tried booting back to normal and it gives me the same boot screen and sits there. I've tried every button combination and it just sits on the boot screen.
Any help or advice is much appreciated. Thank you very much.
ADB won't recognize device. It just says "error: device not found".
Of any mobilr bricks there are two ways to repair,one is from adb and other is from recovery,but in ur case these two are not working.
Somehow try buttons combo and enter the mobile,such that ur pc recognizes the device,thats it problems solved...:thumbup:

sounds like you're in big trouble man , just search and you'll find answers , if booting and restoring is no use idk how lol.
BRICKED 7inch Irola Tablet...PLEASE HELP
I am in DIRE need of some help with my tablet. I received this irola dx752 tablet bricked and cannot fix it for the life of me. I am able to hold power and volume up and get into recovery system version 4.2.01. I Have tried a factory reset and a wipe system cache and the tablet just reboots to the green robot with and exclamation mark. If I press volume up, it brings me back to the system recovery. Now i am not very versed in ADB but I tried to sideload just about every firmware I could find for an a13 allwinner a8 cortex 7inch tablet, since the irola website has taken down its firmware. Also, fastboot will not work on this tablet whatsoever (it just says waiting for device) when i enter any command. I have never seen this tablet boot into a rom of any kind and therefore cannot tell if USB Debugging was ever enabled. I also Have tried different drivers but the one that seem to hold is the Android ADB Interface. CAN ANYONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS OR SOME HELP? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I've bricked my Acer Tablet after trying to flash this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994294
The installscript finished the flash successfully, but after reboot, the bootloader only shows the message "Boot image verified failed" No booting and no CWM Recovery is available no more. I've tried several times to get into the fastboot mode with pressing the Power Button and Volume Button with the two knobs, but nothing helps. Neither switching the screenlock switch on and off. I figured out by trying, how to get into APX mode, but I don't know, if and how that could help me, solving my problem :/
Before I've tried to flash the ROM, I had CM10 with the Stock Bootloader in Unlocked Mode and CWM 6.0.2.3 Touch installed, but the Aroma Installer seems to have destroyed the CWM and locked my Bootloader again. Is there any way to unbrick the tablet now? Any help would be appreciated

Just let the battery run dry. Then let it boot up normally without pressing any buttons when the battery runs out by connecting it to your charger. Hope it works!
Thanks for the reply. I tried that, but nothing happens, just the indicator LED on the power button turns on orange. The tablet does not boot on itself, if I connect the charger. I have to press the power button, but this results again in "Boot image verified failed"
Edit: Update. I figured out how to get into fastboot. I read something on google, with switching the screenlock switch on and off. That doesnt worked for me: The thing was, to hold the power button AND the volume button with the two knobs, then the tablet starts, to release the power button and THEN, while still HOLDING the volume button pressed, to switch on and off the screenlock button. Then the bootloader starts into fastboot mode, going into androidsdk and typed in cmd "fastboot oem unlock" solved the problem. The ROM starts and everything is fine
Why you don't write into the mentioned thread? There seems to come the issues from then ask there, sorry can't understand why opening new thread instead asking there.
Also the first time heard sucha thing, I also change the rooms from cm10 to Jacobus, back to stock, on cool one and to cm and back, to test everything and try something out.
Never had issues buy this ways

I don't have the right to post in the proper thread, so I opened up a new one.
In order to install a JB based ROM, you need the JB compatible CWM. The version of CWM you used is apparently for ICS, so I am a little surprised it worked to install CM10. Where did this 6.0.2.3 come from? Use 6.0.1.5 from pawitp. I've used it and swapped/flashed ROMs at least ten times. Never encountered that issue (or any issue). As a matter of fact, I would just run Vorbeth's EasyRoot as it does all the grunt work for you. I've used it twice and it worked flawlessly.
It is just too late... bad luck for me today, I fullbricked the tablet, after performing a restore with CWM 6.0.1.4. Not bootloader, nothing. Just APX Mode.

Hi I had the same issue after flashing from CM10.1 to CoolOne. However I fixed it by unlocking the bootloader => reinstalling recovery => flashing CM 10.1 back.
Did you have any luck recovering from APX?

No, unfortunately not. I gave my tablet 2 weeks ago to the acer repair service and got it back today. The support said, that they have changed the mainboard and flashed the latest android on the tablet, but they did that on guarantee, so I didn't had to pay something ^^ Now it is running Android 4.1.1 Stock ROM from Acer.
Exact same problem
I am having the exact same problem. I am able to boot into recovery mode but then I get the android laying down with with the red triangle, question mark. My bootloader is unlocked but aftrer the update my screen is stucked on the ICONIA TAB startup screen.
Do not see a section for the A200..... Someone in A100 said I'd have better luck here.....
OK, so I soft bricked my A200 and need to USB connect to it, so I can use fastboot or some other recovery tool.
Problem is that when I plug the A200 into my computer, it grinds away for a bit then gives a driver failed to install red "X" message.
I've reloaded the Acer USB drivers a couple of time, but no joy there. I've tried two different computers, I've tried XP and W7, nothing seems to help. Looking in the device manager shows an error 10 (device can't start).
Since the PC at least recognizes the A200 when plugging in, I think if I can get the USB talking I can easily unbrick the A200.
When I power it on, it boots to the IconiaTab screen, but no further. It's been rooted and bootloader unlocked using HBWelch's Simple Tool. I can get into fastboot mode by using a convoluted (to me, at least) procedure, that takes 6 fingers to accomplish.
After rooting and UL'ing BL it worked fine for over 6 months. Tried to flash back to stock over the weekend, and that's when I bricked it.
I posted this same message over on Acertabletforums, but so far no response's. Moderator, if you don't mind, please merge my other thread over in the A100 section with this thread.
Help??
Boowho??
Do you know if CWM is available for your A200 ?
If your bootloader is unlocked, i think you can flash a boot or recovery via Fastboot
success anyThan

Fastboot appears to need a working USB connection (thru drivers). When I run it on the PC, it hangs with the message "waiting for USB connection". This is with the tablet booted in "fastboot" mode.
I CAN get it to read from update.zip on the SD card. The update.zip I'm using is the completely stock firmware (ROM, recovery, etc).
It starts the update (Android with spinning wire frame ball), gets about 25% done and then the update fails with the "dead android" symbol.
Thanks
Boowho??
Problem solved..... Thanks. Was able to flash via update.zip on SD card.
One damn thing after another!!!

Everything did work fine for a day. Now I cannot enter recovery using the hardware buttons.
Using an APK called "Quick Boot" I can easily boot into CWM from the home screen and everything is fine. Root is fine, bootloader unlocked properly, etc.
Everything acting as I would expect.... BUT....
Unfortunately, not being able to enter recovery from HARD boot pretty much makes any recovery worthless, right??
Anything besides hardware that could be causing this?? The volume rockers work just fine as volume controls.
Thanks
Boowho??
This problem solved too....... Brainfart!!!

Please guys, my galaxy S2 SHW-M20K (Korean) is in trouble.
I bought it from a 2nd hand shop , and it was runing Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (rooted stock rom). I had no problem with it till today when I tried to install "CWM Recovery", After searching the web i found a post with two files that supposedly could do the task. These files are:
1. CWM_KT_M250K.tar
2. Tegrak-Kernel-Build-39-for-SHW-M250K-UE18.tar
Using Odin, I triedd the first file but it couldn't work, and the phone could not boot so i downloaded the "rooted factory firmware" and flashed the phone. Everything was ok. Later I tried the second file. Again the phone could not boot and stuck at the logo with a yellow triangle. After waiting for about 5 minutes I tried to shut it down by pressing the power button it did'nt respond. (Now this is a point that I regret), I removed the battery as a way of forcing to turn it off.
Now my phone cannot boot. It doesn't respond to power button, neither does it allow me to enter recovery mode nor download mode. But When i connect to the charger or pc, it start charging and keeps cutting off the charging frequently. But it only allows me to enter download mode when connected to pc. When I tried to flash the "rooted factory firmware", again, the flashing goes smoothly but when the phone starts rebooting it fails as if there is a power cut. Is my battery damaged? Can someone give me a guide on how to fix it?
I need your help gus, I am not an expert in the rootings and roms,
Pardon My English. It's a foreign language to me.

As u mentioned, I think that your phone has gone to a Soft Brick. I don't know much about the Korean build, so Google it to solve the Soft Brick. Try flashing the stock rom via odin but I don't recommend it since it may cause your phone to be hard bricked if not done properly.
So go to the service centre, you'll get more help there

I thank you sir for responding to this. From what you have said, I think the best decision is to take it to Samsung service center. (For I have tried to google it but I couldn't get a solution). I would also like to know if it is repairable, and about the cost, is it worth repairing or should I think of buying a new phone?
I am stranded.

Hello,
I have a tablet that looks similar to Q88 A13. CPU is wm8801, OS - Android 4.1. So I had stopped using it and left it sit for like 1 year. Now I charged it and tried to turn on, but it wouldn't get past first logo(the one that appears first, not the os loading one) and would attempt to go into recovery itself, but then the android with exclamation mark would appear for a while and then device would reboot and so on and so on...
Then I triggered a hard reset with a button combo, but it didn't really help. Tablet stopped trying to go into recovery and simply kept getting stuck at logo.
I can't access recovery, and neither ADB nor fastboot is working. PC with win 7 reports it as unrecognized device and other PC with win xp doesn't even see that anything is connected to it.
I've tried unsoldering the battery, completely discharging tablet without it, soldered it back on, but didn't help.
Help?

Hi everybody, I am experiencing trouble with my tf101 S/N B70 after I tried to install a custom ROM.
I am not able to boot properly as it seems I have deleted the ROM before trying to install a new recovery. The result is the tablet is stuck on ASUS logo and it is not possible to boot, recover, wipe, basically anything.
I tried PERI, Easy flasher, but none of them seem to work.
If I plug the tablet on a PC running win7 but I cannot install the drivers.
Any idea or suggestion on what to do?
Up for help...
Any news here? Would somebody please answer this call for help?
Even if someone would tell me to just throw it in the garbage can...it would be appreciated!
I had the same problem. I was stuck on the logo too.
I discovered I was only able to cold boot by vol down and power like recovery but when the text appear, you wait 10 sec.
Do you have access to APX mode ?
Hope that will help

I have the same problem and your solution doesn't work. I see the text but restarting runs to same screen as before.
Research and learn look up ADB mode on this site.
These fine gentlemen do not have the time to repeat themselves day after day.
If you look for information as to how to use ADB and find the software you will succeed.
It really is easier if you find and fix. I am not trying to be a a hole.
